Hello everyone, we continued with our artists’ books today, by getting down to the part of actually creating artwork in them. People are using different methods. Some are working directly into the books. Some are making their artwork before folding and creating the books (and have worked out a plan for what will be the front and back etc). Some have used existing artwork already on a sheet of paper to create ready made abstract books, and some are going to mount artwork on the pages. Everyone’s books are different and it is such fun to see them all. I didn’t get photos of the insides of everyone’s books, apologies.
We also have watercolour painting with lovely rhythmic composition and expressive drawings of leaves as well as chalk pastel drawings with great use of composition and colour, and finally a collaged building with the beginnings of a lovely blue sky behind it, which is what we had at the hall today and is very welcome after all the cloud (apologies for the scaffolding making things a bit darker than usual). Thank you everyone for another great afternoon. We will continue with books next week!
