Visual Arts

Year 7 students have been investigating the elements of art, in particular, line and tone. They created Neurographica drawings with a focus on these two elements, to create a harmonious artwork.

Neurographica drawings were introduced by Russian psychologist Pavel Piskarev in 2014. The idea behind Neurographica art is for the person to embrace a meditative process whilst drawing and immersing themselves in the process of creating. When this occurs, the rational thinking of the mind is bypassed and reaches into the hidden layers of our psyche. The unconscious, which is usually inaccessible, is opened up and new neural networks are formed in the brain. This type of art can also be used as a form of art therapy.
