We were fortunate enough to welcome a local artist into our school this week for some workshop sessions and two of our Year 13 Art students have written about the experience:
"During our landscape workshop with Kelly, we explored how we can use acrylic paint more freely, using more experimental techniques to represent how a landscape not only looks but feels. We first did a warmup exercise which consisted of her giving us 4 prompts and 5 minutes to express whatever image the word provoked. We found it really helpful to break away from using references and to explore how an image makes us feel. In the beginning, this was quite stressful as we are so used to extensive planning and creating more realistic work. I think this workshop helped us let go of perfection and put more emotion into our work moving forwards."
Thank you, Kelly!
