If you've ever seen Matisse process you can appreciate this exploration. It calls for signing up ahead of time, November 14th, 2020. https://www.facebook.com/events/581245542747775/?acontext=%7B%22action_history%22%3A%22[%7B%5C%22surface%5C%22%3A%5C%22multi_join_nearby%5C%22%2C%5C%22mechanism%5C%22%3A%5C%22feed_story%5C%22%2C%5C%22extra_data%5C%22%3A[]%7D]%22%7D&privacy_mutation_token=eyJ0eXBlIjowLCJjcmVhdGlvbl90aW1lIjoxNjA0ODUwMzYwLCJjYWxsc2l0ZV9pZCI6MzU5MDM2MDAxOTY4NDMyLCJsYXN0X3N0YWNrIjoiZmxpYlwvcHJpdmFjeVwvY29udHJvbHNcL1ByaXZhY3lNdXRhdGlvblNvdXJjZVV0aWxzLnBocFx1MDA0MDU2XHUwMDQwUHJpdmFjeU11dGF0aW9uVG9rZW5VdGlsczo6Z2V0VG9rZW5Gb3JDYWxsc2l0ZUlEX0RPX05PVF9VU0VcdTAwNDBQcml2YWN5TXV0YXRpb25Ub2tlblV0aWxzIn0%3D Well, that 'link' ain't linkin'! But I see 1.9m people responded so, probably full up for zoom. LOL Here's the text of the Facebutt post. Sounds like an interesting connection to make for aspiring artists or just art lovers. Saturday, November 14, 2020 at 9 AM EST – 10 AM EST Public · Hosted by Frances Stanfield and London Drawing Group Online Event Tickets via Eventbrite We've got an incredible number of you interested in this online class but we can only host a limited number so please book as soon as you can to secure your place and avoid Matisse FOMO! Please read on for event description, materials list and booking info. If you need help with anything please email us at londondrawinggroup@gmail.com Where: ONLINE! Time: London, UK If you cannot make the live event we send a recording out to everyone that books shortly after the live session so you can watch it once within 3 days, any time of day:) This class is suitable for ALL LEVELS! (We've had children as young as 4 join in, someone who is 97 and all ages in-between!) You can use this site to convert UK time to where you are: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.htmlEVENT DESCRIPTION: "What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue." - Henri Matisse This is one of two stand-alone classes where tutor Frances Stanfield will guide you through Matisse's playful approach to art making. This session adopts Matisse's use of scissors as a drawing/painting tool and the other is “Drawing with Sticks” which is now available as a recording on our website www.londondrawinggroup.comMatisse is best known for both his delightfully fluid drawing style and exquisite use of colour, particularly in his simplistic cut out works. In both sessions you will be engaged in mimicking Matisse’s expressive and restlessly experimental way of working to inspire you in your own creative endeavours. This class is suitable for ALL LEVELS You will need: *Some Scissors! *Paper - you can use colour paper or you can paint/colour in paper prior to the class - Matisse painted his paper with Gouache if you want to really get your Matisse game on! *A collection of organic matter such as leaves and flowers *Optional, but handy - pins and a piece of cardboard as big as your paper OR Masking Tape/Sticky Tape/Bluetak Please note neither your camera or audio will be on for this session- only the tutors will be seen and heard but you will be able to communicate in the chat if you wish 🙂 Tablets and phones are fine but THIS CLASS IS BEST VIEWED ON A LAPTOP OR COMPUTER Everyone is welcome to join in on this Pay What You Can class… we know this is a difficult and uncertain time for many and we want to do our best to support you - As you are all probably aware, for the three of us at LDG creativity is our life-blood and our only source of income. Please be honest and pay what you can afford and our online classes will be able to run on a donations basis - if you are struggling, consider this one on the house! You just need to email us stating your situation at londondrawinggroup@gmail.com and we'll make it happen for you. THE ZOOM LINK WILL BE EMAILED TO YOU, WE HAVE SET UP AN EMAIL WITH THE LINK TO ARRIVE IN YOUR INBOX 1 DAY BEFORE AND AGAIN ON THE DAY OF THE CLASS. IF YOU CANNOT FIND IT PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER FOR AN EVENTBRITE EMAIL FROM US. If you have any trouble please email us at londondrawinggroup@gmail.com - facebook messages often get lost and this will ensure we can help you as soon as we can. PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON LINKS THAT ARE NOT POSTED BY US - THESE ARE SCAM. Our tickets are sold safely on a pay-what-you-can basis through eventbrite. This can be found on the event ticket link at the top of this page. We're really sorry about any spam comments and links that may appear on this page - we are trying our best to keep on top of them but facebook are slow to respond so we are asking our friends and anyone that can help to report these kinds of posts when and if you see them. We really don't want to disable comments as they are so important for sharing the work made during the class and for our sense of connection and community. And that's it! We're really looking forward to you joining us. Love, LDG See Less
