Mixed Media Art Class – Belper, Derbyshire

Description

Mixed Media Art class – Belper, Derbyshire

Course description: During November & December I’ll be running a 6 weekly mixed media art classes. All of these sessions will take place at The Strutts Centre, Belper, Derbyshire.  All ages & abilities are welcome. Subject matter and art materials will vary throughout the course. Each week I’ll select a suitable photographic image to work from and I will try to vary these as much as possible. I’ll email everyone the image prior to each class, so that people can print this out or get it displayed onto another device if possible. Each week I’ll also share what art materials I’ll be working with during the class. Again these will vary. People can then either select the same art materials as myself, or use something entirely different. It’s often really interesting when people work on the same subject matter in a variety of different mediums.

During each class I’ll discuss the chosen image with everyone and I’ll also run through exactly how I’d tackle it. I’ll create my own artwork and I’ll describe my process during the class. People can then work on their own artwork while I’m creating mine. I’ll answer any questions if anyone has any, I’ll constantly check up on everyone’s progress during the class and generally everyone has a rather relaxing few hours.

At the end of each class I usually post a link on my Facebook Page for people to post their finished artwork onto. It’s always nice to see how everyone has got along and it’s also a really nice way for people to share their thoughts on everyone’s artwork.

Week 1

Tues 9th November

10.00 until 12.00

This will be a wildlife week. I’ve selected a rather lovely head shot photo of a giraffe. The image has bags of character and plenty of texture too, which should make it a fun little image to tackle.

Week 2

Tues 16th November

10.00 until 12.00

This will be a fiddly little architecture week. A lot of detail in this photo, plus a wee bit of perspective too, which is always handy to tackle every now and again.

Week 3

Tues 23rd November

10.00 until 12.00

The third session will feature some figurative drawing and some lovely folds of fabric. There’s also some lovely shadows and negative spaces in this week’s photo.

Week 4

Tues 30th November

10.00 until 12.00am

Week number four will incorporate a spot of nature, landscapes, trees, moody skies, which is not always my preferred subject matter. As a photo this does have a rather nice atmosphere about it, which should make it an interesting subject matter.

Week 5

Tues 7th December

10.00 until 12.00am

This will be a portrait session, so plenty of proportions, measuring, angles etc.

Week 6

Tues 14th December

10.00 until 12.00am

My final session will be an anything goes session. Something a bit abstract and a lot more playful and experimental than the previous sessions.
