art workshops and creative parties

Yesterday in Art Club we were using texture paste and sand mixed in with our paint and painting with brushes, sticks, sponges, artist’s knives, card and lastly and most exciting of all, fingers. There is something intrinsically joyful about creating with wild abandon and finding new ways of expressing yourself.

Springing back into creativity after the half term break, the Art Club members are becoming full of intrigue and single minded purpose – just like real artists actually, and all done on the scale of a matchbox.

“If you’re not prepared to be wrong you’ll never come up with anything original” Sir Ken Robinson, Educationist.

I have just finished working on my new painting after three weeks work, to be revealed here soon.  Meanwhile here is a taste of an earlier spring, “Petit Bot”, acrylic on paper, Frances.
