MS Paint Exhibition

You may remember that back in February I did a post on an MS Paint competition/exhibition. Well here’s some exciting news, the MS Paint exhibition is now on at the ARC in Stockton. It features new works of art created using the classic computer program produced by a diverse selection of artists from both the local community around the world, including myself. Subjects range from renaissance style drawings to dinosaurs wearing make-up. It’s a must see! Exhibition ends 30^th May 2012

African Textile Workshop – Day 3!

Yesterday was my final day at school working with year 4 pupils on the African inspired wall hangings. We had a really productive day completing all of the batik and painting.

 

Now all that’s left are the finishing touches which include ironing off the wax, fixing the colour and attaching the children’s felt animal shapes. Watch this space to see the completed wall hangings . . .
