INSPIRED BY GRIDS by Bobby Britnell
‘Grids’ are a wonderful inspirational source in art and design. Textile artists also use this as a formula for their work. You just need to think of the array of patchwork quilts and other forms of stitched textiles to see the endless possibilities.
On this course we will be exploring the grid through a series of creative exercises with follow up suggestions of how this can be taken further into resolved works in both art and textiles.
As with all my courses we will reference established and practising artists for further ideas and inspiration.
The complete course is now available for a one-off payment of £25
SESSION 1 ~ Using squared paper to build up ideas.
SESSION 2 ~ Exploring freer approaches with ink, paint and mixed media.
SESSION 3 ~ The wonders of collage and colour.
OUTCOMES: Hopefully by the end of the course students will have a wonderful sketchbook full of inspirational ideas, but in addition they may well develop one or two ideas into fully resolved paintings. Alternatively the possibilities of building up design ideas for printed and stitched textiles will be endless.
- On payment of the £25 fee students will receive by email the full set of comprehensive notes, comprising of approximately 10-12 pages of step by step instructions for EACH of the 3 Sessions.
- Each set of notes comes with further suggestions and ideas for personal development in addition to the exercises.
- It is illustrated in colour throughout, with my own work and sketchbook samples, and with the work of other artists.
- This is a non-tutored course, but I will respond to questions and queries via email.
