It’s always good to set ourselves new challenges. Now and again people ask me if I hold art classes for adults, so for the month of April, I booked Glounthaune Community Centre and advertised a four week course on Monday nights, offering tuition in still life, light and shade, landscape and perspective. The room in Glounthaune is bright, cosy and lovely to work in. I set up the easel and began our first lesson doing a study of still life. The work produced was amazing. Well done to everyone.
Meantime, I was invited to participate as an artist in Cork’s Corner, for the CurrentLee Arts Festival held in the Cork Opera House on April 10th. This was a one-day festival where artists, writers, poets, musicians and dancers provided workshops and performances. I was delighted to see people arriving with their sketchbooks and drawing materials. The festival organisers set out chairs for them, and I began my sketching Tutorial/Workshop with a still life in charcoal. This was followed by a streetscape drawing of the Crawford Art Gallery, the view beside our vantage point in the Opera House. Once again, the artistic talent was amazing.
I may hold a course of art classes for adults again in Glounthaune Community Centre in September 2024. If you are interested, follow me on Facebook page FB: www.facebook.com/frazzledmammy, check out my website www.frazzledmammy.com/art-classes or contact me at 087 6684021 for more information.
