Week 4 photos

We had fun and produced loads of prints last week when we experimented with mono-printing. As usual we had a lovely mix from toddlers to adults participating. That was our last week focusing on line, but please continue to send us in anything you do, line-based or not at any stage in the future. We love to see others adding to and changing the ideas for their own artwork. James sent us some string art and wood whittling samples (both line projects) this week, along with some leaf prints. His pictures and some from the Ardagh class are below, more as usual here.

Week 3 - Line in Modern Art

We had great fun today learning about line in the art of Jackson Pollock and Bridget Riley. We love the dynamics of all ages working together. Toddlers, adults and those in between enjoyed painting like Pollock and experimenting to get the paint runny enough, but not too runny. We also made curvy templates and tried some Bridget Riley inspired designs. More pictures here.

Week 2 - Line in Ancient Art

We had great fun with cave art and ancient Irish art last week. We experimented with charcoal, created stamps to use later and played around with texture on clay. Here are a few of the pictures. More can be found on here.

More submissions for Week 1 and 2

Thanks to Mairin in Co. Mayo for sending in these pictures of her artworks for weeks 1 and 2.
We love the melted crayon lines. Glad to hear you are enjoying the course!
