What is Art?

What Is Art and How do we create it?

Are questions we being trying to define in our Friday afternoon art group.  We are a small group of artist who meet every two weeks to do what we love, 'creating and telling stories through art'. To really understand the full meaning of that statement you need to meet my friend, I'll call 'The Joker".

We meed at an accessible venue with is convent for the 'wheelies' (like really crazy) people in the group.  As we begin to explore the world of art we have looked at different mediums, how to mix colours an discussed texture   We are currently exploring recycling objects or things taken from the environment to works of art.

Last week we took a beach theme as we played with sand, shells and waves.  The stories . . . let's just say the presence of gogglie eyes means someone is hidden the the picture being created!  How much we are progressing on discovering 'What Is Art' I think our attention is held captive by story tellers. 

As our work is incomplete (well mine is anyway . . .) Its there ready to pick up next week. So at home I've started another one.  

It currently looks like this:- 

May-day! May-day!

My boat has hit a rock and is sinking fast and yes there will be eyes lost in the waves.  So keep an eye out to see how this picture develops. 

Don't forget many of my artworks are on sale and can be purchase and paid for online or in person by phoning 0421 401 788.  Drawings can be purchased framed or unframed.
