Doodle Op Art
Tutor: Aisha Naim
Doodle art is a fun way to draw using random abstract patterns. It helps to destress, focus and relax the mind.
Op art is short for optical illusion. Artists use shapes, colours and patterns to create images that look blurred, as if they are moving.
Line Art
Tutor: Veronica Rowlands
Learn to create line drawings using a range of techniques that will leave you relaxed and refreshed. Line art involves images that consist of distinct straight or curved lines, usually set against a plain background without tones or shades.
Experimental mark-making involves using non-traditional methods to create art, such as tea or coffee instead of inks! Try drawing with your non-dominant hand or even sketch with your eyes closed for an added challenge.
