TERM 4: 31 October – 5 DecemberWHEN: 10am – 12pm Saturdays
WHERE: Woden Library
Art Play for Curious Adults with Blaide Lallemand will introduce you to the work of different artists each week. Participants will be encouraged to respond by trying new approaches to art making in every class. All materials are provided.
Term 4 – Abstraction aesthetics and processes
Over the course of six weeks, we’ll cover a diverse range of artists. Each fortnight, we’ll spend time being inspired and examining an artist’s style, trying out their approaches to inform our own ability to make considered artistic choices, thereby growing our knowledge of “how to” and “why” in a relaxed and playful environment.
Art Play encourages people to explore different approaches to making art, working in a range of mediums: pencil, charcoal, watercolour paints, crayons, collage, pen, ink, gouache, oil and acrylic paints. These classes are ideal for the curious adult who may have little experience but has an impulse and desire to trust their creative self and develop their art abilities.
Week One and Two: Japanese Black and White Abstraction: play with Ink on paper exploring the simplicity of balance, gesture and beauty! A painting doesn’t need many colours, complex shapes or elaborate detail to be striking and powerful.
Week three and Four: Be inspired by Blaide Lallemand’s texta works. Using the humble texta, with its fine tips and luminous colours, we will create, structured and impulsive intricate compositions.
Week Five and Six: get loose and expressive and take inspiration from Joan Mitchell.
