Theatre Trip 28th June 2017

 

 

 

Quick reminder - there is NO club meeting tomorrow (28th June) as we are going to the theatre in the evening.  If you are coming to the performance of "Rhythm of the Dance", you should arrive at the theatre and meet in the bar area around 7pm.  Christine will then distribute your tickets.

 

 

 



Salt and Watercolour Painting

14th June 2017

This week we experimented using watercolour and salt.  We painted abstract pieces that we then sprinkled with salt.  Below is the work produced today.  Next week I will post pictures of the finished paintings after the salt has been removed.

Collaborative Painting Project

Our art tutor challenged us to complete a collaborative painting of Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'.  This project had not been attempted by the group before and we were excited to try something new.  Van Gogh's painting was divided in to 16 segments.  These segments were then enlarged to A4 size.  Every member was encouraged to take part and reproduce the segment they had been given on to a blank A4 sheet.

When all the segments were painted, they were assembled on the wall to see the picture as a whole. Below is the result.
