OBSERVER: Creating Together
Melbourne based artist and educator Belinda Wilson is inviting adults and young people aged 16+ to explore the art of still life through Creating Together: The Art of Still Life, a new four-week masterclass series to be held at Kingston Arts Centre.
Commencing Saturday November 7, the program offers participants the opportunity to draw and paint from carefully curated still life arrangements while exploring the artistic approaches of four influential art movements: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, Cubism, Abstraction and Pop Art.
Designed as a masterclass experience, each session combines expert instruction, practical artmaking, demonstrations and art history discussions, enabling participants to deepen their understanding of artistic practice while producing their own finished works.
Participants will be encouraged to experiment with a range of materials, techniques and approaches while exploring new ways of interpreting still life. Suitable for both beginners and experienced artists, the program includes all art materials as well as tea and coffee in a supportive studio environment.
With more than 20 years of experience as a practising visual artist and tertiary art educator, Belinda Wilson believes that making art in a collaborative and supportive environment can be both rewarding and transformative.
“Creating art encourages us to slow down, observe more carefully, and discover new perspectives on the world around us,” says Wilson.
Program Dates: Saturdays, November 7 – 28
Time: 11am–3pm
Cost: $430 for the four-week series
Venue: Kingston Arts Centre, 979 Nepean Hwy, Moorabbin
