Porthmeor Art Collective -Story of Our Lives
Drawing / Mixed Media / Waterbased / Abstract
Join the Porthmeor Art Collective to take a look inside ourselves and explore hidden stories through creative expression.
Meet your group at 4:30pm each Tuesday for an hour online session with our Youth Tutor and share your work for guidance and feedback.
In this workshop we delve deep into ourselves, telling our own lives, our own meaningful stories through art. By looking at the Expressionists and the artist responsible for “The Scream” we will create powerful personal stories centered around emotion.
