Pauline Taylor from Infinite Arts did a wonderful workshop with The Art Studio members about creating their own kites.
The kites created were beautiful and very varied, with the vast majority of the members taking part to create a kite. The kites were then taken on tour around Malaysia and displayed together in a floating arch alongside other schools and groups.
The members are very proud to have taken part and are excited to now be internationally displayed artists!

Every Saturday in the month of March, The Art Studio has been running a fantastic drawing workshop for the members.
A local artist has been working with the guys to progress their skills and confidence in both mark making and drawing.
Each session has been learning something completely new. They have been running round the table, drawing with pencils, pens, charcoal and even with inks!
A member of staff even modelled for life drawing (not nude), and some really amazing drawings were created showing off the level of talent in The Art Studio. You can check out some of the other pictures that were made by clicking here.
Finally, the drawing workshops have encouraged the members to make their own drawings at home and to explore new techniques.
Everyone has been getting thoroughly into creating their own work using the new skills that that they have been learning through the various different workshops.
Oriental Museum
A couple of weeks ago we also had an outing to the Oriental Museum in Durham, where we got to handle a few of the artefacts from the museum collection. This was a rare opportunity and we were very happy to take part. We will now create our own responses to the objects that inspired us the most. Watch this space for more info!
