January 2014

We hope to start the classes again in January, it all depends on how many people enrol before the deadline. Please hurry as the enrolment shuts end of next week.  If we have enough learners we will start the Monday Group on 6th January and the Tuesday Group on 7th January.  Both classes will be 6pm-8pm, same location.

In the meantime a very Happy Christmas to one and all!

Final Week of 2013!

Yes it is indeed the end of 2013 as far as courses go. We look forward to January when hopefully we will be back at our easels with large grins on our faces because we are drawing and painting again! Apologies to the Monday group as the photos were somehow damaged - try to get them up next term if people bring their paintings in. See below the Tuesday group's fantastic work in progress:

Family Portrait Monday Group

Week two in our Family Portrait project. A challenging but wonderful project with lots of excellent stories shared in the group.

Family Portrait Tuesday Group

Into our second week of the project and some very interesting designs are coming out.

Week 8 Tuesday Group

Like the Monday group we started on our final family portraits project tonight. Over three weeks we will use our own research to create a personal narrative that is not too literal in terms of the visual and story. No images from tonight as we focused on the story processes and designs. Meanwhile here are some images from the previous project and work down at home:

Week 8 Monday Group

We started our final project of term. A complex yet exciting project exploring something about our family. We are looking at how artists create narratives using objects, symbolism, meaning. Well here goes anyway! Some early images at the ideas stage:
