When I shut down the in person classes I only thought it would be for a couple of months. Who knew it would be years later that they would finally start up again. I'm starting a new venue come September at Ardleigh House Community Centre and I cant wait to be back in the classroom with my regulars. I have done a few sessions at West Horndon Art Group, which is always a pleasure....</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzbV-tOf_VXFW4uIbiqM1arvmcz2FbYjVQJ12fcEDJzbtzh_vULYluf24ACQsoC_hq5aRjOQqnw1ojqIilDwV7MFmwDqtROj_39Oz0DHSwDPDYq8pGQPHsM8u5Zbf5Q7VUNWaFfL98MoD6AZ9Irx62tWvZJvBqY8X-d4MJL4g1SqYKgI6h04180Zmx/s1600/20220330_121911.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="437" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzbV-tOf_VXFW4uIbiqM1arvmcz2FbYjVQJ12fcEDJzbtzh_vULYluf24ACQsoC_hq5aRjOQqnw1ojqIilDwV7MFmwDqtROj_39Oz0DHSwDPDYq8pGQPHsM8u5Zbf5Q7VUNWaFfL98MoD6AZ9Irx62tWvZJvBqY8X-d4MJL4g1SqYKgI6h04180Zmx/w583-h437/20220330_121911.jpg" width="583" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-family: arial;">It was a bit scary to be back in person and I kept my mask on the whole time. I think I'm more relaxed now that things have calmed down. However it was so lovely to see everyone creating in front of me. I also forgot how exhausting it was, a complete shock to my system after working from the comfort of my studio for so long!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I started zoom classes to keep my learners doing something creative and to stop me going insane with home learning. It's been such a positive experience that I'm going to keep doing them on a Tuesday. It's great teaching from the comfort of your own home with slippers on and a coffee to sip on. The learners said it was good to see me working up close, sometimes in a large room it can be a struggle to see properly but online you have me up close and personal : ) <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf17PrJ7kjq7ezTM768mwCuqvC6H2fzdjeMQSiZzQXDyQV166HBIYq6gyo-j2iXXDeW29BVlwhNXh1SNPxIEtRbLeL-qA-WyqI_gYNVtSQcYgstAtXHuxd23bO1R_hUV8-GF5AA87dJO2IQb92KpqCUHTRCob54zZdy7KV73BPJr6P5Yog1CSgT5Dj/s1080/Cute%20animals.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf17PrJ7kjq7ezTM768mwCuqvC6H2fzdjeMQSiZzQXDyQV166HBIYq6gyo-j2iXXDeW29BVlwhNXh1SNPxIEtRbLeL-qA-WyqI_gYNVtSQcYgstAtXHuxd23bO1R_hUV8-GF5AA87dJO2IQb92KpqCUHTRCob54zZdy7KV73BPJr6P5Yog1CSgT5Dj/s320/Cute%20animals.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl06t1CshJ-qv4wDTMsMj247JFw5DSr8ZCuU6VR56xAZPqFoTJeJGpltDDN6K_7hcW9SXPEW7fDNEFZJp3mSddnOW8FfzdUpQ9FD8m62dvgRdcYlCImNBDj9fOn8xhqmdngGl_DzJ8ehTizcBtG9NfgUGx2LVUkjLB5k4iL9R0NvsHmVE0M1RLut09/s2016/20220504_115301.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl06t1CshJ-qv4wDTMsMj247JFw5DSr8ZCuU6VR56xAZPqFoTJeJGpltDDN6K_7hcW9SXPEW7fDNEFZJp3mSddnOW8FfzdUpQ9FD8m62dvgRdcYlCImNBDj9fOn8xhqmdngGl_DzJ8ehTizcBtG9NfgUGx2LVUkjLB5k4iL9R0NvsHmVE0M1RLut09/s320/20220504_115301.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbS9qvTsgAuUNz0vES07wE0pom9ZtkiNAYQTW0vB1oOlaDMli6sHBydHObEoYEmfENLoF1TiSHTMR55t_9F9SYmus1KrmicMI7JvbCzfc6C8vMYsP-ySGjZUI9UPJoGzmMVDbmOi33htbA1I7f9iJinqeTEOv70ipCUAciKYtPe0RXi3ExH9SyO2PN/s2016/20220504_115212.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbS9qvTsgAuUNz0vES07wE0pom9ZtkiNAYQTW0vB1oOlaDMli6sHBydHObEoYEmfENLoF1TiSHTMR55t_9F9SYmus1KrmicMI7JvbCzfc6C8vMYsP-ySGjZUI9UPJoGzmMVDbmOi33htbA1I7f9iJinqeTEOv70ipCUAciKYtPe0RXi3ExH9SyO2PN/s320/20220504_115212.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibBYqJdjFwNqM_UzR0ogAt3emrkFHq_fsA_fjYZ_3s-NUEqCwSc5bLZ2liG6uP12fW8ouL65qzALNukbCuiqFINLvlZhjFpd7-rof0c-dT-ANgtLw8_zxauu8AEdHcCwhhYvP07zGLTHW1kNo4GFves4_ASFBsCGtO_G5C-2Ou8U0Sk1iMQAZY3nO8/s1080/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibBYqJdjFwNqM_UzR0ogAt3emrkFHq_fsA_fjYZ_3s-NUEqCwSc5bLZ2liG6uP12fW8ouL65qzALNukbCuiqFINLvlZhjFpd7-rof0c-dT-ANgtLw8_zxauu8AEdHcCwhhYvP07zGLTHW1kNo4GFves4_ASFBsCGtO_G5C-2Ou8U0Sk1iMQAZY3nO8/s320/3.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihE8QCQOign5GK9EWAdCVGBHxT6fcaAPOIQqIHuFaiC76UEXsVQW-Dbg1AweDkuYywW-zjE_rYA1mBQpYW8N8IdHHC8vJ_gSxAF_IojAJ-UNoX2SLy50L-oE2d5l6xZAJD_uNGj5tl-SPnz9E26bL68v5d2brk-iLdjI2XyvoqhaqEo1x1ey-SFuT1/s960/Flamenco%20Dancer%202206271.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihE8QCQOign5GK9EWAdCVGBHxT6fcaAPOIQqIHuFaiC76UEXsVQW-Dbg1AweDkuYywW-zjE_rYA1mBQpYW8N8IdHHC8vJ_gSxAF_IojAJ-UNoX2SLy50L-oE2d5l6xZAJD_uNGj5tl-SPnz9E26bL68v5d2brk-iLdjI2XyvoqhaqEo1x1ey-SFuT1/s320/Flamenco%20Dancer%202206271.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> The weekly practice of drawing and painting is great to develop skills. In the past most of my time is taken with learners and helping them with their artwork that I didnt have the chance to complete work but I've noticed that through zoom I draw and paint so much on my own work and it's really helped me to develop and find my own voice. Which I know sounds really cheesy but the main thing I've learnt is that by drawing and painting weekly you'll discover what you like and what you don't which will direct you to your own style. In class we experiment, for example adding ink pens on top of watercolour. One learner has found her style and finds this too bold so uses soft pencils instead, keeping it soft and muted in her style. So go experiment and see what happens plus you'll have lots of fun along the way.<p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">If you're interested zoom classes will be running on Tuesday mornings, 10-12.

Thursday art classes are getting really popular, so much so that I
can't fit everyone in. So I'm starting a new venue at Fairkytes Art
Centre in Hornchurch on Tuesday mornings. So my art class that I teach
on a Thursday morning which covers a wide range of media will be
repeated on a Tuesday morning. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm
excited to start a new venue and at Fairkytes which has been an art and
cultural hub in Havering for years now. We'll be based in the art room
overlooking the garden. Plus I've just bought a new toy, a projector, so
I can show everyone inspiring artists along with step by step
instructions for anything we're working on. So if you're interested in
joining us get in touch and pop along. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Guess whose work I forgot on the day? My own mother!! Yep which was all framed and sitting in my house well before the exhibition. So a little dash back to the house from my other half, a re-jiggle of the work and she was in, receiving loads of positive comments for her lion! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I even had a table set up to do some drawing and painting on the day, which of course the kids loved. It's funny how adults get too embarassed to join in whereas children have no worries whatsoever. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had some great last sessions to the Winter course. I finished off the morning in the park, we were very lucky as the sun came out to make a glorious morning painting for us. Everybody did fantastically adding their own unique style into their work from colours to brush strokes. I think everyone is always surprised when they see everyone else's work because we all have the same view but the work is so different from each other. That's one of the great things I love as an art teacher, everyone putting their own personality into their work without even realising. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then for the afternoon class we had to stay inside as it was cold, wet and miserable to paint outside but we soon brightened things up with our colourful honesty paintings inspired by Jane Betteridge. I got everyone to chose colours they were drawn to on the day and the results were amazing. Again the colours people chose definitely reflect their personalities. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've just finished the outline for the next course and it sounds exciting and challenging. I've tried to put a mixture of subjects including ones that need no drawing and others a little more challenging. If you've been watching the Big Painting Challenging on BBC you can see what happens when artists are challenged it helps them to progress. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My new art classes start next week and I'm really excited to get creative again. Christmas has flown by in a flash and I've had a great break with the family but time to stop eating chocolate, stop watching Christmas dramas and start to get creative!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm especially excited as I'll have more time to myself this term to work on my own projects...watch this space. I cant remember the last time I actually painted something just because I wanted to rather than for a lesson or a deadline. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's still spaces so if you want to come and get creative just add a comment or email me, kirsten@iaminspired.co.uk. January is the perfect opportunity to put all of those good intentions into practice, so see you there : ) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was the quickest and most fun painted in ink. It only took about 10 minutes painting time, it took longer waiting for the paint to dry to paint the second layer : )</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is something I've wanted to do for ages especially after reading Handa's surprise to the girls and seeing the gorgeous illustrations. I still love reading that to the girls so we can look at the amazing watercolour paintings. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took inspiration from Hazel Soane painting in coloured layers starting with Yellow Ochre, adding Crimson then finishing with Blue. I was really pleased with him...there's something really joyful about elephants : ) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you're local and want to join us painting elephants i'll be in the Visitor Centre at Hornchurch Country Park this Thursday 12.45-14.45 £10. </span>I am inspiredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12442128422387476032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238250089865998674.post-30400661129654017892018-10-17T03:20:00.000-07:002018-10-17T03:20:02.069-07:00Plein Air Painting.....<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took full advantage of this unusally warm weather and last Thursday we went out into Hornchurch Country Park to paint the landscape. There's a lovely spot just past the visitor centre, which was luckuily out of the wind, where you find yourself underneath a large sky. It really is beautiful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just like a typical English day it was lovely and sunny and then we got some gorgeous moody clouds move over above us. Luckily the weather held out for us all to finish our paintings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you've never experienced it, painting outside is a great experience especially with a great group of learners. </span><br />

get my moneys worth from my art fund I went along to the Michael Jackson
exhibition "On the wall" with my friend. After a long summer doing kids
things it was great to get out and feed the soul on art and great
company. It was an emotional exhibition that leads you on a
rollercoaster of feelings from sadness, heartache, curiousity to sheer
joy with laugh out loud exhibits. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As
we were at The National Portrait Gallery we popped in to see this years
BP Portrait Award which never disappoints. The paintings were
beautiful. The first one that greets you was amazing and looked so
photographic you can't even see any brush strokes! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here were some of my favourites....</span><br />

So it was lovely looking back at what we got up to at the summer, I'll spare you the hundreds of selfies they take of each other : ) I'm always taking pictures to inspire my work, here's some of my favourites from our local park, Thetford, St.Osyth and finally the Loire Valley. Can't wait to get planning and painting.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It makes my life look idyllic which it really isnt! My daughter was so scared and fightened from the mannequins at the Sleeping Beauty Castle (Chateau d'Usse) that taking pictures of flowers in the garden was the only thing to calm her down. Note to self, do not take her to Madame Tussauds : )</span>I am inspiredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12442128422387476032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238250089865998674.post-48988129196285608302018-09-17T06:20:00.000-07:002018-09-17T06:20:04.477-07:00Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the beginning of July I bought myself a 3month art pass and started off by visiting the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition. I've not been in years and so loved it. I felt the work was split between 2 moods, the playful and funny, just like Grayson Perry who was the main curator this year and the romantically beautiful. See if you can guess the category in the work below : )</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The photos dont really do them justice, they were far more beautiful in real life.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's a few pictures from my last sessions of the summer term where we get adventurous and go plein air..... it was so roasting we had to hunt for shade for fear of over heating : )</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was the from my Drawing and Painting class up near Havering-atte-Bower at the back of the Green and the horses stables. It was recommended from a learner (thank you Terry) as one of his favourite walks and I can see why, it is absolutely beautiful. If you want to get inspired by nature definitely head up there for breath taking views and you might be as lucky as us to have the horses wondering past.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's something magical about drawing and painting outside, almost like a Cinderella moment as chicks swim past, dragonflies dance in front of you and the birds sing. Definitely good for the soul.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love teaching at art groups, they're always full of very nice and talented people. I was asked to show how to paint birch trees using a credit card and salt technique in watercolour. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They're a really lovely group and the work they produced was incredibly varied and talented. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had such a great time with them and was delighted when they asked me back to do another session last Saturday, this time on Street Scenes with People. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted to paint a really quick painting as the session is just for the morning so I went for a more modern Impressionist style using a flat brush. So in preparation I painted this landscape with sun bathers first which I really enjoyed painting in oils. I couldn't believe how quick it was either, less is more!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then I wanted to prepare a street scene and having just come back from France I wanted a French scene and started on this portrait one.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We had an end of year Exhibition of all my students work from the past year in the Ingrebourne Visitors Centre at Hornchurch Country Park and the work was amazing. It's incredible to think that most of the learners haven't picked up a pencil or paintbrush since leaving school years ago. What they create and progress onto is amazing and I always feel incredibly proud. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To top it off they even sold some of their pieces to people who came along and just fell in love with their work. </span><br />

Having seen them in books and cartoons she fell in love. So she could not believe it when I told her they were at the museum. Last half term we finally headed to the British museum to see the infamous mummies.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I dont think the real life mummies lived up to their cartoon image and she found them all a little scary. She now has a new found obsession with death and keeps drawing dead characters like this one from one of her books showing a dead mouse who has been stabbed in the back just like Gebelein man. To think I taught her this.... how do you explain that to the teachers : )</span><br />

The children had been saving milk bottles for months and they were super excited to get going.... Two weeks later we finally made it to the top of the igloo feeling very happy with ourselves. From the outside it looked really cool, if a little wonky.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was determined to finish this after all of our hard work. So I went back in on a Friday afternoon with 30 very excited and very helpful little children to put it back together. For anyone else attempting this you really need a base when starting off to hold its shape, which we thought we didnt need, oh how wrong were we! So we moved it into the corner of the classroom so that the corner walls could support the shape and began again to put it back together. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">30 Glue gun sticks, 1 roll of gaffa tape & 1 large bottle of PVA glue later and we were back in business.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Again we left it over the week end to fully dry out and hold its shape with a little help from some garden canes I found in the shed. When we came back in on Monday morning we found it....all in one piece... hurrah. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The children were amazing taking it in turns to help collect bottles, arranging them into sizes, then working out how many would fit into the rows and spaces and most importantly holding them down to make them super strong. They often worked as a team always offering help and assistance to each other. Whilst they were waiting for a turn they made lots of snowflakes and clouds to add the finishing touches. </span><br />
