“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”
/ Albert Einstein /
👁️🎨 We meet every second Saturday to express our creativity and explore ourselves through visual art. During the first part of the session we sketch, paint and draw from life, observing each other, our models or everyday objects. Then, we infuse what we saw with our creativity: incorporating the theme or the technique of the day into our work. We conclude with a sharing circle, making sense of our impressions and gaining a better understanding of each other’s perception. The Creative Eye invites you to look at the world in new ways, reflect on your experiences and bring your story to life. Relax, inspire and create joy.

⭐️ Our next meeting explores: The Abstract Self-Portrait
If you were a picture what would you look like? How would you move? What would you sound, smell and feel like? Can you capture those impressions in an image? Join us on 6 July, as we reflect on our sense of self, attempting to convey the beliefs, experiences and choices we are made of, through an abstract self-portrait. First, we will explore how others approached this task, stretching our own creativity, then, we will turn inward, and design artwork that conveys our vibe.
Bring a mirror, a photo, or a selfie if you like, or work entirely from your imagination.
