Week 2
In attendance am 9 artists pm 9 artists
4 new artists
If I ever know of an exhibition or opening I am letting the group know so they can attend if they wish. This week it is Manchester contemporary, a couple of people signed up to go to the private view. Its good for the members of the group to go and visit galleries and attend open studios, as it shows them what is about in the art world at the moment and how many (non famous) artists there are around.
I would like to organize a trip somewhere
This week I have introduced the mark making exercise to the group. This week I chose classical music, as I knew the group would enjoy it, I didn’t want to put them off on their first try out.
The feedback was excellent
“I feel all relaxed and ready for the session”
“The music has inspired me”
After this people showed some of their previous work to the group they were all very supportive of each other. I brought some playdough and Lego, which proved to be very popular with almost everyone. Some people when off to draw in the park or café for the rest of the session.
This little group it proving to be very popular my only concern is there isn’t going to be enough of me to go around if the numbers increase much more. I am also running out of space.
Mmmmmmm this need thinking about.
Next week poster paint and big paper! And planning of exhibition for xmas (theme?)
