Art tour and workshop! (TEENS EVENT)

London

"The range of galleries and art we looked at were stunning and it taught some really valuable skills and techniques. The people were very knowledgeable and friendly and the workshop was lots of fun!"

This week, it was time to get creative at our gallery tour and art workshop!

10 TYA's joined us on Saturday for a day filled with creativity! The day consisted of a tour around Fitzrovia's art scene visiting three current exhibitions, kindly guided my Marie-Anne of Hotel Alphabet. Marie-Anne was bursting with knowledge to share with the young people and on hand to answer any questions that they ahd.

First, we head to Unit Gallery to visit the Gori Mora exhibition. This artwork was vibrant, full of recurring motifs gave the young people ideas about the use of colour and imagery. Next, we headed to thee Gillian jason Gallery to view upcoming artist Jess Cochrane's exhibition. The TYA's had a chance to observe the work as well as meet the Gallery Owner who shared her wealth of expertise. Finally, we headed to Fitzrovia Gallery to meet with artist Lucy Cade and see her new collection! Lucy spoke through her inspiration for the artwork, the mediums and techniques used and answered the TYA's questions about a career in the creative industry. Every single exhibition was very different from one another, giving everyone lots of ideas ahead of our Art workshop!

Brimming with inspiration and ideas, everyone headed to the art workshop where we enjoyed some pizza and got to know one another better before starting the workshop. Guided by artist Tracy, the TYA's put paintbrush to paper and created their own beuatiful pieces of art. Tracy was on hand to guide them, and to show them different ways of experimenting with the paint! The final results were all incredible, and everyone. 

This was such a great day, and we can't wait for our next creative day!
