Shape + Surface

A celebration through observation. Isolate shapes from your drawings and explore them through playful printing and painting. It’s about finding beauty and energy in what you’ve already seen.

Description

Begin by tracing and isolating shapes hidden within your previous studies. Then, respond to them using playful explorations in paint and print. This is about celebration, not perfection. Inspired by artists like Rex Ray, Matisse, and Ellsworth Kelly, you’ll discover the patterns and textures that live within what you’ve seen.

Hi there,

Thanks for signing up! It’s lovely to have you here.

Art-Ed Hub is more than just a resource bank; it’s a growing space for creative inquiry, thoughtful teaching, and the kind of soulful exploration that often gets lost in the rush of curriculum and outcomes. Whether you’re here for the IB Visual Arts support, the creative prompts, or just a bit of inspiration, I hope you find something that resonates.

Every now and then, I’ll drop into your inbox with new resources, reflections, or behind-the-scenes updates. Nothing overwhelming, just things I genuinely think are worth sharing.

Warm wishes,
Nikki
Founder, Art-Ed Hub
