Preparation Stage
A frame is prepared by the facilitator following this process
- Preparing the canvasses on the frame
- Painting the background with glue and white paint
The workshop
As the frame has been created beforehand, participants take their own canvas. The facilitator starts giving the instructions and together with the participants draws explaining step by step the choices made and the importance of letting yourself free during the process. In this process it is important to give clear instructions on how to paint and draw specific elements.
Learning Outcomes
Following the demonstration, a learner or a participant should be able to paint a background, sketch and complete a painting. Even though they do not feel comfortable with a process, they will understand that everyone is able to paint and access one’s own inner-self through painting.
