ART CLUB | Co - Create Sessions | Zoom Art Play Dates
4th Saturday of the month, 9.45 - 11.30am (Sydney Time)
What is Art Club?
Art Club is a Zoom Art Play Date for subscribers to the Studio Diaries.
Art Club is different to Open Studio, in that there is not always a provided reference image to work from.
Art Club is where we meet in the virtual studio of Zoom and work alongside each other, doing our own creative thing. Its a bit like sharing a studio space at Art School, or in a warehouse down town.
We will still have an optional sharing session at the end, because there is something very affirming and positive when we share our work with others (and it is super inspiring to see what everyone else is creating).
Pop Up Art Clubs (coming soon on Discord) will be at random times on different days. Many of the Pop Up Art Clubs will not be recorded so you can wear your PJ’s, ask questions or even eat a meal while we get creative together. Drop in and say hi, meet others and make art.
Some of the benefits of Art Club include:
Enjoying the company of other like minded creatives
Motivation to keep going with your project
Asking questions about materials, processes, techniques, studio practice etc.
Its a mid week creative boost to keep you going until the weekend
Dedicated time set aside for your creativity
Suggested Ideas of what to do at Art Club:
Sketch from one of your own reference images
Paint / Draw in Procreate
Work on a painting
Fill a page in your sketchbook
Art Journal - Play
Collage - Colour palettes
Work on a 100 Day Project
Do one of the Art Prompts in Shore Thing
Make a self care Zine
Sound fun? I’d love to know what you think:
