Paint What You Feel

Ever wanted to try and put your ideas and emotions into a painting or artwork but not quite sure how to get started?  Now is your chance to live as the expressionist did and get your wild ideas and emotions into action. 

By the end of this 6-week introductory course you can expect to have a broader understanding of contemporary art and how you can use it to express your ideas. You will grow in confidence with your art practice and learn some key concepts in understanding and appreciating contemporary art. This will be an exciting course with lots of opportunity to move way outside the box and get your MOJO into action.
