Gestural Figure Painting continued

This week we continued our gestural figure painting project. This project is to help us paint in a different and more loose style than we would normally. At the half-way point in the project you can see this happening more and more. It will be interesting to see how far we have changed next week when we conclude the project.

Next Project: gestural figure painting

See resource page opposite, last item on list, for some images and a simple guide to our next project. Either start this at home or wait till class next week.

Week Three: final Hands session - stories

We concluded our three-week project on "hands" tonight. The aim was to try to create a story using only hands as the motif, supplemented by colour, light and position. Though not everyone was at the same stage, they all show a narrative that invites us to consider the meaning in the image created. Well done everybody.
