Review of Bella Chipperfield

Wow what a night, a live concert that showcased the guitar and voices of individuals and bands.

A creative workshop, where artists will be given the opportunity to express themselves through mixed media. A “jam-packed” course, filled with methods on how best to combine different mediums. Techniques will provide artists with a fresh perspective on how to “paint”.

An informative workshop, where artists will be introduced to Life Drawing. Artists will begin to learn how to use perspective, proportions and shading to portray the human form. Life drawing is an essential skill for any budding artist, and can be done anywhere; on the train, sat in the park etc.

"It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover, to your surprise, that you have rendered something in its true character." (Camille Pissarro)

A creative workshop, where artists will work together to create a large-scale painting. Without one another, the final product would not make sense; teamwork is key. The group will take inspiration from a named artist to produce the final piece; a critical study and collaboration (key skills taught in Fine Art).

“I like the idea of collaboration - it pushes you. It's a richer experience...” (Frank Gehry)

Fashion design is the art of applying design, aesthetics and natural beauty to clothing and its accessories. It is influenced by cultural and social attitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories such as bracelets and necklaces. Because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market, designers must at times anticipate changes to consumer tastes.
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." Coco Chanel

It has been done around the world, with roots in India, China and Japan.
"Philosophically print is right at the centre of Fine Art where the subject can expand". unknown
