Optical Illusions Drawing Workshop – May Half Term Workshops
Southern Maltings
Thu 30th May 2024
1pm
In this drawing workshop, Julia will teach drawing skills to create clever artistic illusions.
Optical illusions are images or pictures that we perceive differently than they really are. Put another way, optical illusions occur when our eyes send information to our brains that tricks us into perceiving something that does not match reality.
When we put pen to paper we are always creating the illusion of a form. Julia will show how to make a drawing look 3-dimensional or how to draw an illusion of space or light or how to make something look different if perceived in different ways. Can a drawing be two things at once?
As always, Julia's philosophy is to help your children create art to keep forever and teach them skills to rework and use time and time again!
Julia Fonnereau is a qualified art teacher, having taught art to all age ranges from primary to A level and BTec Art and Design. She currently works as a freelance artist and surface pattern designer as Julia Fonnereau Design, specialising in animals and botanicals, and she exhibits her work all around the country including at our Southern Maltings Art and Craft Markets.
