Welcome back to art class everyone and thank you for your participation this week. Here are a selection of photos from today. 

We had a warm up session where we experimented with drawing and painting from still life objects. We did the warm up exercise to start with where we draw with our non dominant hand using a continuous line and without looking at the paper: this activity really helps to train our eye when looking. It was a fun activity to do our our first day back. And remember that you can do this activity as many times as you like, or just each time to sit down to make artwork, you can do it as a quick warm up. 

A variety of media was used today, pen, graphite pencil, watercolour, water soluble coloured pencils and conte. We also have an abstracted mixed-media pattern sample sheet, a landscape collage made from left over Christmas wrapping paper, and a finished concertina book, which has has been crafted using mixed media including pen, pencil, coloured pencil, watercolour and collage. 

A really wonderful session, thank you all so much for your hard work and enthusiasm.
