We were back in the studio this week, carrying on with our ‘Own Projects’. Some of us worked with the word for the month, “Hidden”, creating some unique and unexpected artwork.

Some students responded to the image on this week’s brief (the Carol Douglas exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture park), to explore their own abstracted compositions. I brought the Maudie Lewis book in, “Pictures for Sale”, and there are some artworks based on her work also. Another student was inspired by an artist of her own choosing (Angie Lewis’s flowers). I also brought flowers into the studios and they too were used as a starting point for artwork. A variety of media was used, including: watercolour, ink, stencils, pens, Posca pens, charcoal, gouache, graphite pencil, coloured pencil and watercolour pens.
