Union High School, Graaff-Reinet’s ๐๐ฅ๐ง ๐๐๐จ๐ members have been meeting twice a week this term to explore the captivating world of Art Nouveau posters and portraits.
Their main focus has been on developing the skill of gridding, which enables them to create precise and accurate reproductions of renowned artworks by artists like Toulouse Lautrec and Edward Beardsley.
