EVENT DESCRIPTION:
"What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue." - Henri Matisse
This is an online art class where tutor Frances Stanfield will guide you through Matisse's playful approach to art making.
Matisse is best known for both his delightfully fluid drawing style and exquisite use of colour, particularly in his simplistic cut out works. You will be engaged in mimicking Matisse’s expressive and restlessly experimental way of working to inspire you in your own creative endeavours.
In this class we will be making our cut outs from a series of images which Frances will be presenting to you and from still life.
This class is suitable for ALL LEVELS
Everyone is welcome to join in on this Pay What You Can class… we know this is a difficult and uncertain time for many and we want to do our best to support you - As you are all probably aware, for the three of us at LDG creativity is our life-blood and our only source of income. Please be honest and pay what you can afford and our online classes will be able to run on a donations basis - if you are struggling, consider this one on the house! You just need to email us stating your situation at [email protected] and we'll make it happen for you.

Some Scissors!
Paper - you can use colour paper or you can paint/colour in paper prior to the class - Matisse painted his paper with Gouche if you want to really get your Matisse game on!

Optional, but handy: pins and a piece of cardboard as big as your paper
