Drawing Classes

Date: April 2017 - November 2017

Group: Elderly residents of Battersea Place

Description: Go Create provide fun art experiences and information-rich workshops for adults and children in South West London. I worked on an outreach project for Go Create at Battersea Place; a retirement community where residents can enjoy an enriched, independent lifestyle but with security, and opportunities for companionship and new friends. I visited this community once a fortnight for six months to teach beginner-intermediate level drawing skills. Each session was themed e.g. the figure, fruit and vegetables, landscapes, hands, plants. I also introduced the residents to warm-up exercises, various drawing tools and to the work of traditional and contemporary artists.
