Art in Practice: Colour
Mixing paints, blocks of colour and rainbow wheels
My approach to creativity is all about exploration, playfulness and learning through the process of making art. It’s not about being perfect or even the end result at times. For me, it’s about the journey. Thank you for joining me as we embrace the mess and explore together.
Welcome to Creative Spaces,
Every fortnight, for paid subscribers, I will share an article where I delve into an art practice or artists work offering multiple project ideas or techniques for you to experiment with. These project ideas stem from tried and tested art activities that I have conducted in workshops I facilitate. I aim to share my experiences with you, the successes and the failures, in the hope that they inspire a little creativity in your home or community spaces.
In the workshops I host, and here in these articles, my aim is not for you to produce cookie cutter replicas of an artwork or idea. The projects I share are very open-ended. They are designed as a starting point. Through the process of making art, each artist will explore their own creative ideas and create their own unique interpretation of the initial project idea.
For the next few weeks we will be exploring ideas around the topic of LINE & COLOUR. The examples of artworks I’m sharing here were created at ART CLUB, the weekly home education art class I facilitate.
Today our project ideas are all about COLOUR. We will be mixing paints, creating colour wheels, blending inks and painting blocks of colour inspired by Paul Klee.
