Creating with Ruby Chew

By Email this article

Recently our Year 12 SACE and Diploma Visual Art students participated in an outreach workshop with South Australian practicing visual artist Ruby Chew. 

Ruby is well known for her realistic oil portraits with bright patterned backgrounds.

Ruby taught the students how to approach self-portraiture, using a range of techniques and materials. The students spent the whole day applying the techniques to their own self-portraits. The students enjoyed the opportunity to have the full day to immerse themselves in their work.
