Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art and thought “I could have made that?”. Well, artist and designer, Pascal Anson, is challenging you to live up to that very statement! Join this exciting, practical workshop, in which Pascal will help you understand the multi-facetted and complex nature of abstract art, using simple tools to create your own piece of abstract art from the comfort of your home.
Pascal says “The key to making your own abstract art is to experiment without knowing what the end result might be. This is creative risk taking and in the practical session we will explore ways to abstract something visually (as an action) as well as how to make an abstract (a noun) piece. The session will use everyday art materials.”
