Capturing ‘Your Home during Covid-19’ Online session

For our online session this Saturday 11th July 2020 we are going to look at ‘Your Home’ – ‘Your Home Space’ that you have felt safe, secure and happy on during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Think about what your special Home Space is:

- a special spot in the garden
- curled up on the sofa
- sitting at the Kitchen table creating food, art…
- looking out of the lounge, bedroom, kitchen window
- Standing the front door clapping – waving
- another place…

We want you to collect all your art materials that you have been using for the sessions.
If you only have a few materials that you have been using that great… it makes it easier to select what to draw for this week’s session.

We will start a series of mark making exercises (please see examples below) using what you have to hand; using your sketchbooks…

We want this to be part of a visual diary of your experience of Pandemic, being creative in Lockdown.

Here are some example of artists documenting their home spaces…
