Art, creativity, education, art practice
The artist eye or the photographic eye is a creative process. It starts with looking, really looking to see. Sometimes it is obvious, other times more subtle and elusive. My photos here are a combination of these. Can you decide which ones required more looking?
Is the above image a sun rise? …or sunset?… how can you tell?
The art Nigel Peake combines a love of the ordinary and the everyday with his skill in drawing. His attention to detail means we can appreciate his eye and what he sees, how he sees.
While, in a way, quirky – take some time to look and you find intricate patterns and lines. Take some more time and try it for yourself, you realise the level of skill and type of artist that he is. Find some paper, some fine markers and see for yourself. It’s therapeutic and considered but the rewards as you will see are most definitely worthwhile.
Finally… you actually have some time to tick off a few things off your list… and acquire some those skills you have always said you would. Just imagine, your life long goal of artistic personal satisfaction is just around the corner! Refreshing those art skills or getting back into practical art is so rewarding and personally satisfying – with others in a class or individually.
Currently, I lead workshops for those that “have always wanted” to get back into some artmaking or those who wonder if the high school approach to art has changed much over the years. Fortunately, for tutor and student it has indeed changed and adult art classes allow for a range of possibilities and learning styles to be customised and developed to suit your own needs and wishes.
The artwork above, created by an adult student, demonstrates some of the skills and approaches towards artmaking. Where making mistakes and trying out something new is encouraged. Art making in 2018 is about being open to new ideas and seeing things from a different perspective perhaps or in a new light.
If this is on your bucket list, now is time to be creative, to get that green coloured pencil and tick this one off your list.
