1 November GROUPS: 11AM Inner Child Art Workshop (Room1) with Issy Davies
Connect with your inner-child Art workshop – Issy invites you to pick up your crayons, pencils, or anything that makes a mark, and draw with the freedom you had as a child! As we age, the freedom of creativity is often replaced by expectations - we are taught that art means we need to follow rules, master techniques, and aim for perfection for it to be considered valuable. What once was playful and instinctive becomes overshadowed by theories, techniques, and the pressure to create ‘serious’ art.
This workshop shifts away from these ideas. Instead Issy will lead you through a series of playful drawing exercises to help you to loosen up your creative practice and find value in the simple joy of making art for art’s sake. You will be encouraged to tune into yourself and enjoy the expressive process of making marks to connect with your current self and return to the carefree creativity of youth. Leave your inhibitions behind and open your mind to make Art like no one’s watching.
Come as you are - art supplies will be available, though you’re welcome to bring your favourite materials if you wish. You don’t need any prior art experience to take part - just a willingness to explore and create! Open minds, spontaneity and mess are encouraged!
