The Dialectic Art Series
By Jack Crooks
Join Melbourne contemporary artist Frank Sita with his two students Jack Crooks and Robb White as they explore 'Dialectic Art', the fundamental theory behind Frank's decades long art career, and the driving force behind his school: the 'Sita School of Multi-Arts'.
Through this lens they explore the nature of art primarily through the inter-relational aspects of music, painting, drama, sculpting and more, and how these mediums can be amalgamated to express a fundamentally artistic experience.
