Brighter Futures Programme Autumn 2024
Diana is an artist who regularly works to support learning and wellbeing in communities. She is an advocate of creativity as an important form of self expression and emotional wellbeing.
You don’t need to be ‘good at drawing’ to be welcome on this course! From doodling to to 3D drawings, we will be trying out lots of materials and finding the methods that suit your own style best.
The day will be in 4 parts,
- Part one includes quick and very playful challenges, trying out lots of different ways to make a drawing in a series of short experiments.
- Part two we look at line and tone, trying out charcoal, chalk and pastels.
- Part three we will use colour on both wet and dry surfaces to find which you prefer, exploring inks and unusual drawing materials.
- Part 4, you will be making confident choices to create your own artwork using the methods and materials that suit your style best.
This course will help you to find your strengths in observation, choice of materials and preferred way to work. It will help you to feel more confident in your abilities across a wide range of techniques and decide which other workshops or longer courses would be right for you in future.
This is a one-day course taking place on Tuesday 22nd October, 10am-4pm.
