“Art is what we call…the thing an artist does. It's not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist.”
A quote by Seth Godin that sums up the ethos of how we approach art classes at Get Creative Studio, in East Horsley, Surrey.

The Wednesday afternoon class have been working on studies in greyscale, monochrome and limited colour palettes. Acrylic on paper.

The focus this week has been on working on a series of A5 pieces, creating a high value contrast within each piece.

Next week the group will move on to experimenting with a mixed colour palette, whilst maintaining their focus on high value contrasts, to create eye catching pieces.

The Power of Creativity…
Art making can offer us growth, to enable us to feel stimulated and fulfilled. Growth is stimulated by ideas, opportunities and reflection. At Get Creative, a “Tiny Art School” in the Surrey Hills, we believe in “art for all”. We encourage the “artistically undiscovered” and those who believe themselves to be “artistically incompetent” to have a go!!

Painting portraits in Acrylic, using the “Right brain” method. Working upside down helps us to overcome our “Left brain” dominance. A fun exercise that we did in the Wednesday afternoon class this week.
