ND Art Club - Wild Painting in 3D

Neuro Diverse Art Club

Now in its third month, we have our monthly creative club, specifically for neuro diverse adults. Each month we will take on a different project, in a friendly and welcoming environment.

In this session we’ll make abstract paintings based on the work of the American artist, Frank Stella. We’ll create pattern, explore mark-making and colour, and incorporate recycled materials to make a 3D painting that jumps off the wall! You’ll have the chance to try out lots of different materials and experiment in putting them together in interesting and unusual ways. We’ll juxtapose areas of neat and careful line work with wild mark-making to create a painting that is visually exciting and interesting.

What's included?

• All equipment and materials
• Light refreshments

Things to note

• Please wear clothes that you dont mind getting messy in
• If you would like more information about the space, please head to the website
• Each session is made up of a new group of participants, rather than a fixed group

Mike Cassidy

I studied at Chelsea Art College, graduating in 2007 with a first class degree in Fine Art (Painting). I’ve been making and teaching art ever since. My teaching has brought me into contact with lots of different processes and materials, which have often diffused into my art practice - most notably ceramics, which I’ve been practicing now for over 10 years. I’m interested in how memory, pathos and narrative can be contained in artworks. I think of the process of making an artwork as a story that should always be woven into the things that I make.
