LOOSEN UP & PAINT – anti-stress ART workshops for EVERYONE
„Relax & Let Your Imagination Do the Job“ it is a series of 4 creative and relaxing workshops. The lessons are intended for anyone who has the desire to create something, but doesn’t know how to start.
In a friendly and homy atmosphere (group sizes is max. 5 people) I can show You that painting is not a toil and you can learn to be creative.
►Although, you will make your hands dirty, you will also clear your head from everyday worries. ►Every time, you will bring home your own PIECE of ART. ►WHY should you try it? We all sometimes need to just be ‘present’. To let our brain rest, be here and now, off-line.
►Painting is hygiene for the soul and mind. It is a deep work in practice. The result of manual work is unique and tangible. Art is not only for artists! Just like running is not only for athletes.
WHAT WE WILL LEARN
During 4 lessons (every 2,5 h) we will try many easy, non-stresfull, fun and visually attractive techniques. I will show you how to use everyday objects to make art.
We will learn: how to choose colours, how to mix them, which colours go together (all of which will be applicable to matching you’re clothes or colours in your home)► how to create interesting tones and shades and why ► how to decide on the composition of paintings and photos ► how to smoothly mix painting with drawing and graphics ► what different types of brushes can do ► how to create your own hand-made painting tools or using recycled materials (paper/cardboard, boxes) ►we will discover that one can make art with anything (pens, pencils, wall paint) on almost anything (from recycled paper to fabric or vinyl rugs).
The course is designed for total beginners and also for intermediate and advanced, who are bored with painting according to a referent photo.
THE FIRST ROUND – ART is FUN for EVERYONE
Lesson 1 – 2.5h ‘Art Testing. Practical demonstration of how to use colours and composition
- How to choose colours, tones to make them pleasant for the eye, how to harmonize and mix them, how to shade, what each brush can do and what might be painted with a finger, a stick or a toothbrush.
- How to determine the composition-what and where should appear on our paintings, so that it is interesting (even if we were painting freely, without a template or photo)
► the result will be the first sketch, art-idea or the first painting with acrylics on cardboard which you can take home and be proud of.
Lesson 2 – 2.5 h – Easy abstract painting for forest lovers ► Dripping technique – ‘Loosen trees’.
Art-experimenting with fluid acrylics on cardboard ► We will create a colourful duet of paintings on a negative background, we will learn to determine shapes by shading, drawing outlines and then we will create original pieces of art…from colourful chaos.
Lesson 3 – 2.5 h –‘Where is the path to my heart’- known shapes on a multicoloured background. We works with paints, a flat brush and a…. wet cloth
Painting 1. Where is the path to my heart, Painting 2 (optional)- My Angel Protector, Bird abstraction, Trees growing to the sky
20*30cm, acrylic paint on a painted cardboard + background (without a frame) ► A symbolic, decorative painting will thus be created. You can make it in your favourite colours and shades, as a perfect present for the ones you love.
Lesson 4– 2.5 h –MICROCOSMOS – My own graphic postcards
I show you how to create your own collection of unique, a bit abstract postcards/small poster. You can bet – every single one will be absolute original. As an inspiration and printable stencils, we will use the Nature Wealth (leaf’s, flowers, fruits and stems)
►Firstly, the composition of elements, colours will be created. Then we will use magic gelli plates. We will add structures and shapes. We will be surprised by the visual beauty of this technique.
As a result – an arty, dreamy piece will be created. Bunch of postcards or posters. The best-one will be put on a colourful, contrasting background and prepare for framing or sending via post mail (variety of frames will be available – for extra 100 Kč/piece).
