Quarantine Art Club Inspiration - Layer it!

2/5/2020

0 Comments

 
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... 
Picture
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!
Picture
Perhaps similar to Maud Vantour in lots of ways - this illustration by Eiko Ojala incorporates a repeated shape to create a sense of rhythm.
Picture
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! 
Picture
A beautiful and very delicate woven collage by Hollie Chastain.
Picture
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... 
Picture
A really interesting layering of text from different sources by American artist Randel Plowman.
Picture
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.

Quarantine Art Club is up and running...

28/4/2020

...and below you can see some of the first artworks to come back to us! - thanks to Ruth and Alison for these. 
The first theme we have asked participants to think about is 'Here Comes the Sun', which up until today has been quite apt! The packages we sent out - full of interesting paper bits and other materials for collage - were a little delayed in the post but got there eventually (please do let us know if you haven't had yours ASAP). 
Don't forget postal people - we would like you to send 2 A5 artworks for each theme... they will all be hand bound into very special one-off zine / artists books for participants to keep. We are also scanning them so we have digital copies of everything produced.
We can't wait to see more!
​Thanks again to the wonderful Postocde Community Trust for allowing us to change the way we are using our funding in these unusual times.
