​​Andrew Weatherill is an exhibiting artist and a practising teacher who embraces an a/r/tographic methodology. Thorough informed praxis, the acquisition of skills and an exploration of how these can be infused he strives to develop a uniquely personal and creative artistic practice.

Born in Port Moresby in 1972, Weatherill presently lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. He received a Master of Fine Art from RMIT University in 2016. His artworks focus on the shifting point of view as a means to question perception, location, and subjectivity. Trained as a painter and printmaker his art practice oscillates between analogue, digital and spatial positions that extend the nature of the contemporary practice. Interweaving mediums of photography, collage, painting and intaglio printmaking allows Weatherill to create unique artworks that embody the artists’ hand and the shifting point of contact between mass and space.

The importance of teaching for creativity
A creatively inspired economy has the power to inspire and influence present and future generations, to protect our planet, people, cultures and natural resources and contribute to a more sustainable future (UNCTAD, 2018).

Creativity supports a growing economy. The United Nations Conference of Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Creative Economy Outlook report identifies that between 2002 and 2015, the market for creative goods grew globally from $208 billion to $509 billion.

Creative thinking was identified in the 2010 IBM study of 1,500 CEO's as the single most crucial skill required  to develop effective business models in an increasingly complex world.

 To adapt in a world where manual tasks are automated the Future of Jobs  Report 2018 predicted that creativity, originality and initiative would be critical skills required by the workforce of the future (World Economic Forum, 2018www.weforum.org/).
