Art and the Five Senses with Rachel Lambert

Touch, Sound, Taste and smell, Sight

These workshops will focus on using the senses as an inspirational starting point for creating art. The venue of Mount Pleasant Eco-Park provides a perfect setting for this. Here, we will spend time in and outside the Gallery exploring the natural environment through touch, sight, hearing, taste and smell. We will then use a variety of techniques and materials to translate our experiences into 2-dimensional images.
