Cool it Art

The first of the Young at ‘Art Summer Trips to Tate Britain - a tradition for the last 3 years - as for many of us it is near enough on our doorstep and such a fantastic free resource!

Today’s trip focused on rooms 31-38 in the Turner Wing exploring his work as well as that of Constable & Rothko - we did a whistle-stop tour with one piece from each room highlighted before the group went on to sketch from whatever they found piqued their interest!

“Continuous Pattern Tiles” over at Young at ‘Art last week 30.7.26, using paper quarters to create seamless running patterns - a fab variety of creations ✨

More “Multifaceted Movement Silhouettes” from Young at ‘Art finished or created at home inspired by the session on the 23rd July - thanks for sharing

Example done for tomorrow’s Young at ‘Art “Continuous Pattern Tiles” using 4 bits paper to craft a pattern the can flow continuously - looking forward to seeing what the group come up with!

Love these colourwheel creatures - a simple but effective way to create aesthetic joy, well done 👏

Getting ready for tomorrows with Colourwheel Creatures - which lends itself well to lions 🦁 and their marvellous manes

Last week’s Young at ‘Art in session with “Multifaceted Movement Silhouettes” - which was a trickier theme so was broken down into different options as well as the multiple images in one; silhouettes in general, layering of different objects, collage and even a nod to Jasper John’s Alphabet multi layering letters

A fab variety of creations, inspirations and aesthetics!

Example for last week’s Young at ‘Art - Multifaceted Movement Silhouettes, capturing multiple movements in one moment

Another Fauve offering - this time a self portrait, created at home but brought in to share with the class - fun use of a colour and expression

Crafting Creatures & Faces from an array of Letters & Numbers at this afternoon - a slightly more tricky drawing exercise but great to get us expanding our imaginations!
