As he said “the picture is the harvest of the dream”. This mixed media workshop lets you develop a version of his style.
Friedrich Hundertwasser loved spirals, a symbol of life and nature. Born in Vienna in 1928, he lived in Northland, NZ in the 70s. Whangarei District Council opened a gallery in conjunction with his Viennese Foundation. The session will include a slideshow from Margaret’s recent visit to inspire us. All materials are included.
Then, learn how to:
- use organic shapes, spirals and symbols in your art
- paint bands of vibrant colours in his style with colour theory mini workshop
- use inks to stain an underpainting with luminous colour, mini workshop
- apply unusual angles and perspective to draw in the viewer - push yourself with composition and design.
Creative Director of Art Grooves, Margaret Taylor graduated from The Learning Connexion (Diploma in Art & Creativity) 12 years ago. Then she ran a popular art education programme for KAC for over 8 years. This workshop is for anyone with an interest in being creative, regardless of experience.
