"Steal From Artists"
Saturday afternoons 2-4.30pm
Exploring the Foundations of Art: Line, Shape, Colour, and Composition with the artists: TRACEY EMIN / YAYOI KASUMA / NORMAN GILBERT
Join me for an art class inspired by the words of Pablo Picasso: "Bad artists copy. Great artists steal." In this series of classes, we will delve into the world of art to cultivate your creativity and develop your own distinctive style by drawing inspiration from renowned artists.
Throughout we'll explore various principles and techniques of influential artists. Together, we'll embark on a journey of exploration, learning, and artistic experimentation, with each session building upon the last to deepen your understanding and skills.
Our sessions will commence with engaging mini-lectures and demonstrations, setting the stage for hands-on exploration. You'll be tasked with creating sketches inspired by the day's theme, laying the groundwork for your final artwork.
This isn't your typical outcome-focused workshop; it's a journey of learning and artistic exploration. Each session is designed to ignite your imagination and hone your skills, prioritizing the process of making art over predefined outcomes.
Whether you're a seasoned artist seeking fresh inspiration or a newcomer eager to discover the joy of artistic expression, this class welcomes all skill levels. The class will be no more than 6 students, allowing as much or as little one to one tuition as you request.
Materials included will include and will be yours to keep.
Refreshments will include hot and cold drinks, and snacks. These will be available through the class.
