Into the second week of the circle project, the children were cutting up the circles they had painted last week, into quarters. They then swapped pieces with each other and began to construct new circles.

They experimented with the new circles to see how they worked on different coloured backgrounds, before glueing down.

Circles

drawing around objects to create the circles

This week we were exploring colour and shape...in particular circles. This was the first week of a series of 2D workshops, working towards a finished collaborative piece.

The classes will lead the direction of the workshops for the following sessions, thinking about different processes and techniques that they could use to explore the circle theme.

New term - new ideas!

Beautifully observed drawing by one of our younger artists

The new term of Balfron ArtWorks kicked off on the 1st of September with some beautiful drawings and paintings of leaves and flowers from the garden.

Working together on large paper the classes explored form, texture, colour and pattern.

Collaborative leaf painting

We have added an extra class this term, bringing us up to four classes each Saturday morning. It's been good to see old faces as well as welcoming lots of new ones too!
