Draw - Paint - Create!

 JOIN US:
You don’t have to be studying art or have any experience to come and join in. We’ll be using art to Investigate identity including self-identity and how people choose to identify. The workshops will be relaxed, fun and full of opportunities for creative thinking and practice. You will be using a variety of materials from marker pens, to charcoal and paint.

Thursday 17th August
Friday 18th August

The day will begin with some fun activities designed to help you get to know each and relax into the rest of the day. Over the workshop you will:
• Have the opportunity to express yourself creatively and work at scale
• Be with a maximum of 11 other young people
• Be using a variety of materials through experimentation to learn new art skills or advance existing ones
• Get great ideas and advice from Alice Sheppard Fidler who is facilitating the workshop and a practicing fine artist working in installation, sculpture, and performance. You’ll also get input from Matt Sefton – a successful local working artist.
• Have a fab lunch and brownie (free)
• Work as a team and individually to create individual and/or collaborative finished work
• It doesn’t start until 11am so you can still have a lie in
• You can add your artwork to your cv or if you are studying art add the work to your portfolio.
