Back into the studio for a colour session.
Using objects gathered on the Bennachie derive last week we began by spending 3 minutes covering large sheets of paper with lines and marks.
Using a selection of materials we began to cover the sheets in colour.
A couple of people in the group were unsure about the techniques and use of various materials. Once we had got over the inhibition of trying out new materials the works began to build and some excellent colours began to appear.
This part of the session lasted for one hour with music by *AR playing.
After coffee we moved round one space to another persons drawing and everyone was given 15 x 15 cm template to select and make a drawing of an area which interested them . This part of the session lasted 30 minutes, the music this time was by Moritz Von Oswald Trio.
Finally we returned to our original drawing and spent the last 30 minutes focusing an area from the drawings above. This time we listened to The Treacherous Orchestra.
At the end I was blown away with what we achieved in this class. Considering people said they had not held a paintbrush in anger before, the results were awesome.
This week we move on to discussing the initial ideas for our final artwork and exhibition. Hopefully the sun will shine and we can sit outside and spend a couple of hours dicussing and debating the plans.
We will also spend an hour or so creating an ad-hoc 3D object.
