Your chosen artists could
organise a fun-packed practical session to end your party. Practical
sessions can be as short as half an hour or as long as 3 hours, the
timing determines what can be achieved and what materials can be
used.
For example: Imagine you want your guests to create Picasso portraits
At the end of
every practical session comes the awarding of the free Guestwho? Prize
to the best art work of the evening.
If you thought the Turner Prize was controversial be prepared for lots of good-natured
banter and very strange decision making.
To create drawings on A3 paper and colour with oil pastels takes
around half an hour
To create A2 sized paintings using acrylic paint and working on
easels can take 2 to 3 hours
Absolutely no artistic ability is
required or assumed. All these practical sessions are designed so
everyone can be successful
Salvador Dali : Wacky Illusions
After the re-enactment of his life, Dali
will take your guests on quest into the sub-conscious mind. Using some
very funny adaptions of Freud's ideas and methods your guests will
create some bizarre ideas for their work of art.
Pablo Picasso: Cross-eyed Portraits
Picasso will show your guests very simply how to
draw a face from the front and the side, then it's up to them how they
interpret it. The end result will be an amazing portrait that looks
in different directions all at the same time.
Andy Warhol: Superstar Faces
Warhol will photograph each
guest and then project their image on to large sheets of paper for
them to draw around, just as used to do. Using paint
guests will be encouraged to use bold, clashing colours and create
a superstar!
Van Gogh: Tortured Sunflowers
Van Gogh will show you that if you can draw a circle
and a number 8 you can create a masterpiece of dying sunflowers. There
is no time to waste because Van Gogh will have you working at breakneck
speed.
Claude Monet: Glorious Impressions
Monet will demonstrate how
to draw and paint trees, sky's and the whole landscape. Guests will
use the little dabbed brushstrokes of the Impressionists to create
their own masterpieces at the speed that Monet works. Wow!
