    Potters Fields open-air art workshops!

     

     

    LAP Director and tutor Julia, engaging with the public, lots of smiles!

    If you follow us on Twitter, Facebook or just here on WordPress then you’ll surely have heard about our workshops in Potters Fields that are taking place over the next two months. If you haven’t now is your chance to catch up on the fun and relaxation that’s been taking place right next to LAP HQ!

    The workshops focus on two things – the first is the enjoyable and therapeutic experience of art, whilst celebrating sport!  Line drawings of sportsmen and women are at hande to draw from and inspire!  Giant rolls of drawing paper are laid out across the lawn surrounded by art materials such as oil pastels, highlighters, coloured pencils and permanent markers. Each drawing space is surrounded by rugs, pillows and bean bags and situated on the green green grass of Potters Fields under the shade of a tree. This project is open to all, and aims to include all members of the local community, visitors and business people alike. It is accessible for all to walk up to the space and add a drawing, which in turn leads to the many rolls of layers of thought and design.  The LAP team encourage all ages and levels to particpate, discover and combine drawings. Above all else we hope it will make people smile and have fun together!

    Taking place during the Olympics and Paralympics (beside a giant screen that shows live events taking place) we also encourage visitors to draw inspiration from the Olympic events and the strength and power of its participants.  Dotted around our space are images of sports men and women which you can use as bases for your drawings, but of course we also encourage you to draw the first thing that comes into your head!

    If you’d like to take part in one of our workshops you can see our schedule here at our Facebook event (where you can also RSVP!) All workshops are free and you can drop in any time. Once the rolls of canvas have been completely filled we will display them at LAP HQ and all students (and those who RSVP) will be invited to the private view!

    Everyone is welcome to join in at the events! Every workshop will have disabled access.

    • At London Art Portfolio you are encouraged to seek inspiration everywhere, whatever stirs your passion, and afterwards introduced to an imaginative range of materials and techniques to visualise your ideas. The process was great fun and everyone on the course was really friendly and bounced off on each other’s skills and ideas. It was a pleasure to be there!

    • Thanks to this course, I began to understand the value of practising and honing your craft. It is important to know how to build a project from the ground up, with time and perseverance, but it is also important to back up your ideas with practiced skill.

    • I’m currently an undergraduate student studying Architecture. After failing my first year I began to attend one-to-one tutorials at London Art Portfolio. After attending tutorials for a year I ended happily with a first and now moving onto second year!

    • London Art Portfolio helped me find my creative self again, it helped me learn how to develop my own projects and how to present them properly. Fantastic team, great tutorials, vibrant and inspiring atmosphere. I will be eternally thankful to London Art Portfolio, especially to Julia…

    • At first I was uncertain of my own abilities and I lacked confidence. That is why I decided to seek the expertise of Julia at London Art Portfolio. She made me feel comfortable from the very beginning and starting from our first one-to-one tutorial I began to develop my drawing skills. She made sure that throughout our time together we explored different mediums, techniques and approaches.

    • ..London Art Portfolio, and Julia in particular, gave me creative guidance and help throughout the course to make sure I achieved and produced work, not only I, myself was pleased with, but work that would get me accepted to the schools I applied to…
