We explore and experiment with a wide range of approaches to make abstract art. Each term there are different themes, lasting for one or two weeks, led by a coordinator, guest artist or a course member. A theme may cover the work of a chosen artist or an abstract style. There is no formal tuition, but guidance and suggestions are given, including details of materials you may wish to use. You can work in any medium except oils. Group members include all levels, from beginners to established artists and you are free to explore your own responses. A highlight of ART 01 is the ethos of collaboration, open mindedness and mutual support; we encourage everyone to learn from each other in a sociable and enjoyable way. We have established an annual exhibition at U3AC's Bridge Street premises and this is open to all who wish to display.
