Art Class Monday Morning





Monday Morning Art Class in the studio starts with Mark Making.
Every week it is different and opens up discussion on
how the marks relate to Art and Artist.
Mark Making is a really good way of opening different areas of the brain.
Isaac who was participating in Work Experience last week
from Swaffham Hammonds Academy, tried one of the Circle Techniques
using a toy truck tyre and a paint brush without its brush.
(Work Experience is available all year round)
We then go into individual mediums such as water colour, acrylics, collage etc.
Drawing is vital and Jane teaches lots of ways to get good results.
The Piano hands were drawn by Lena with lots of tips and encouragement.
Sarah our Drawing Skills Tutor and Gold Award Winner is 
teaching 'Light on Dark' on the 18th of July.
Sessions are £10 and are from 10-12.15 ever Monday.

Mark Making Sketchbook at Art Class




At the start of every Monday Morning Art Class we have a
Mark Making or Drawing warm up exercise.
A fun way to start your week.
This month, May, there is a free sketchbook to draw and
collect these activities in, when you attend the class.
Mark Making stimulates areas of your brain that 
encourages exploration and strengthens cognitive 
agility and is fun, using tools and mediums that you may
not use often. 
(All tools and medium supplied for this activity).

We then get down to enjoying an Art Session using
the medium and muse of your choice.
Lots of help , techniques and advice by Jane.
Once a month there is a Drawing Skill Session 
with Sarah Howard a Gold Medal  National Artist.
Sarah is a Botanist and Artist. 
She shares her skills, knowledge and techniques. 
The next session is June the 6th 2016.
Norfolk Open Studios Week.
The Old Art Room is participating and is open daily for
the two weeks of the event.

Sarah is exploring spirals in nature with
fur cones and pineapples.
So lots of techniques to try.
