Quarantine Art Club Inspiration - Layer it!

2/5/2020

Hello Quarantine Art Clubbers (QACCERS? quackers?!)
We've seen some lovely examples of artwork already, responding to the theme of 'Here Comes the Sun'. The second theme we have asked you to explore is 'Layer it' - so here are some more images and ideas to get you thinking...

Maud Vantour works with paper to create richly coloured graphical layered images that almost look like openings or deep holes.

This theme is a little bit more open ended than the first one - we are suggesting experiments with materials and techniques rather than a particular image - this may make it more of a challenge for you or it might make it more straight forward!

Perhaps similar to Maud Vantour in lots of ways - this illustration by Eiko Ojala incorporates a repeated shape to create a sense of rhythm.

This collage by Andy Jenkins may not be as colourful but the neutral tones draw attention to the geometric structure of the image.

Hopefully these images have given you more to think about. Do share any more images or ideas you have though social media and comments here - and we look forward to seeing the artwork you produce!

A beautiful and very delicate woven collage by Hollie Chastain.

Tracey Algar is a landscape artist from South Africa who creates these gorgeous layered images with collage and paint. They look quite abstract but are actually organised and planned in quite a structured way...

In the pack you received you will have found all sorts of interesting materials of varying levels of translucence. You can of course combine these with anything else you have around the house - like clingfilm, baking paper, plastic envelope window inserts, found images and so on...

A really interesting layering of text from different sources by American artist Randel Plowman.

How about creating a sense of layers by cutting holes through the materials you are using? This stitched and collaged surface is by Deidre Adams.
