"KNOW YOUR PLACE"
Exploring your response to different environments.
​
Some people are very much at home in the kitchen, for example, conjuring deliciousness, kneading bread, orchestrating a hungry crowd round a big table - while others might see a looming pile of dirty dishes, a germ-covered floor and an endless list of thankless chores.
Where do you feel at home? Or not? (eg at sea, with family, on a hilltop, at work, driving, in the garden, at parties) Can you capture your sense of place by using various painting techniques?
Preparation for Week 3: Is there a place where you feel different – more or less confident than usual / free from normal concerns / very anxious or calm? Investigate how other artists have approached the depiction of mood and bring along any reference photos that might be useful.​
​​
Week 4 Think again about “your place,” the place you feel you belong – where, when, with whom, with what and maybe even think about why.
