Art Club – next session 11th May 7-9pm

For those who want to, we will be working on the pieces cut from the Big Art we made last time.

If you do not want to do this, I would suggest you bring something you would like to do (still life, working from sketches, other) or give me a buzz beforehand and I can try to make some plans...

Next Art Club Session - April 13th 7-9pm in the Church Room

We are going to have FUN! We're coming over all abstract/gestural/wild.... We will all be working on a large sheet of paper together (1.5m x as far as we can stretch it in the room - 4- 5m?) using anything which can make a mark/splosh/smudge; charcoal, chalk, pastel, oil bars, quink ink, indian ink, household emulsion, mud,....

We will be:
• Exploring different marks
• Experimenting with materials
• Working on different grounds
• Freeing up technique
• Losing fear of making mistakes (there is no right or wrong! Hooray!)
• Working intuitively, (this project helps with exploring weight, colour, tone, design, composition...without having to think about it. Hooray!)

You will need:
• An apron/overalls/cover up - with any luck we'll all get very messy.
• Your own mark-making materials or a couple of pounds towards group materials

If you haven't tried it before, this is the time to give it a go. Look forward to seeing you on April 13th.

PS total cost per session depends on how many people come - approximately £2 and a contribution towards materials.

Art Club - Coming Soon!

Date and time to be confirmed, but the art club will probably take place on a Wednesday evening, every two or three weeks. The content of each session will be decided by those taking part, but to begin with we will concentrate on drawing.

If you are interested in taking part, please contact Pippa Young through the Village Website Contact page (just put Art Club in the meassgae box)

For the first session we are just going to launch in and do something to get us started. I will set up a still life, but if there is something you would like to draw, bring it along. I would suggest that we concentrate on black and white and drawing at this stage, so bring a medium of your choice along: pencils (2B – 6B), chalks, charcoal, graphite; some cartridge paper (At least A3 size - A4 is a bit small to unleash your inner Picasso...) and a drawing board or piece of plywood/mdf that is big enough to support your paper.

You may also need some masking tape, a rubber and/or putty rubber.

Thank you

Pippa
