Description:
This taster is relaxing and therapeutic, designed to promote wellbeing through creative expression. You will use drawing and painting techniques to create artwork in a calm and supportive environment, helping to encourage relaxation, mindfulness, and a sense of achievement.
During the session, you will explore a range of art materials and techniques, including acrylic paints, inks and pens, chalks, oil pastels and watercolour pencils. You will be encouraged to experiment with different media and mixed-media approaches while learning about the colour wheel and basic colour theory.
You may also draw inspiration from abstract artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, using activities such as creating concentric circles and other abstract designs to express your creativity and personal interpretation of art.
By the end of the taster, I will be able to:
Define primary colours, secondary colours and tertiary colours and create an abstract piece of artwork using mixed media.
