This is a fun, mixed media workshop combining drawing, painting and collaging

Learning Goals:

• Layer pattern, texture and colour using mark making tools, stencils and acrylic paint
• Balance colour
• Challenge composition by working within a bell jar format
• Create a unique, original piece of 2d artwork to take home
• Demonstrate an individual approach

How will I learn: Rachel will guide you through the various creative planning stages, show you how you might use the variety of tools and products on offer and will encourage you to be individual in your approach.

How will I be assessed: Rachel will be on hand to offer hints and tips and support you every step of the way. Our group sizes are small and we strive to create a welcoming safe environment in which you can explore your
creativity
