Art and Friendship (via Zoom)

Price: £5.00

The Art & Friendship Group - Art for Wellbeing

These four Zoom sessions invite you to create together in a group. As usual with this group no previous experience making art is necessary only a curiosity and openness to have a go! These four sessions can be booked separately or as a course. Read a review of the class from an attendee here.

Martine will bring ideas for us to get started and demonstrate a variety of techniques and use of materials. As we are all learning to adapt and be flexible with changes these sessions will explore improvising and adapting with our creativity.

We will be gathering objects for inspiration from our own homes and the outdoors, looking together and sharing our views through our art.

Each session will begin with a demonstration and review of the previous week followed by art making. There will be time made for the group to look at each other’s work and share inspiration and thoughts for how our pictures might develop.

Materials to have at hand for these sessions:

• A4 & A3 Cartridge paper
• Pencil
• Rubber
• Scissors
• Charcoal
• Compressed charcoal
• Black pen
• Ink
• Tracing paper
• Watercolour paints
• Newspaper (or alternative protection for table)
• An old book (for painting pages and using for making an image)

Don’t worry if you can’t get all of these materials, have at hand the art materials you enjoy working with as we can improvise!
