Kickstart your Creativity
There are times when we all experience creative block, the blank page stares back at us and our mind feels as if it goes blank in response. These sessions are designed to help us reconnect with our creativity by providing an opportunity to share ideas, explore and play with art materials and focus on the creative process not on end product. Each class will have a different theme, either an element or a principle of design, the October theme will be line. Future themes include shape, colour, value, space, texture, contrast, emphasis, hierarchy, repetition and movement. We will begin the session with a short warm up where we will explore some shapes from Guided Drawing®, followed by a group brainstorming session around our theme. Each participant will work their way through 5 art stations, spending 30 minutes at each station experimenting with how the theme could be rendered in each medium including: acrylic on Gelli-press, Gansai watercolour, colour pencils, collage, markers, crayons/oil pastels. At the end we will have a short sharing (optional to share) session where we can discuss our creations. These workshops are suitable for beginners, no prior art experience is required.
