Event Description
May - Drawing through collage
Materials needed:
- scissors
- glue
- a few pieces of A4 paper
- a selection of paper to cut up (e.g. old envelopes, magazines, coloured paper, newspaper)
In this month’s class, Caitlin will be inviting us to take inspiration from the collage work of Matisse. The session will look at using collage to explore composition and the interaction of shapes depending on how they are placed together. This class is a unique approach to drawing, thinking broadly about the use of collage to develop our approach to drawing. Caitlin will make use of warm up activities, and a structured drawing session to enable each participant to create something they are proud of!
June - Celebrating colour
Materials needed:
- Paper (if you have any coloured paper please do have this too, but not essential!)
- Pencils

- Colours - this can be coloured pencils or pastels. I will be demonstrating with colour pencils.

With the arrival of summer, this class will celebrate the flourishing colours around us in nature. Come prepared with a bunch of flowers, or a plant to draw from, and a selection of colours. This class is suitable for all abilities, and Caitlin will make use of warm up activities, and a structured drawing session to enable each participant to create something they are proud of!

Meet the Host, Caitlin
