Abstract Nature: Line, Form and Texture Drawings Inspired By Found Natural Objects
Sunday 27 August 2017, 12–2pm V22 Louise House
Join artist Sandra Keating and experiment with expressive abstract drawing inspired by line, form & texture found within different natural objects sourced outside and within the garden at V22 Louise House.
This participatory workshop is open to all as you explore outside the space to find your own objects, in order to draw from them and create a whole range of monochromatic drawings on different sized surfaces including paper and wood. You will piece these together onto the walls throughout the workshop and create a large temporary installation display to see the journey, the line and form everyone’s different abstract works have taken.
This workshop is open to all ages and no drawing skills are necessary. Exploration is key.
Materials will be provided such as a variety of paper, cardboard and wood sizes, pencils, charcoal and sponges.
Anyone under the age of 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
