Funny Faces ONLINE
any age
Tuesday 10th August 10:00-11:00 online
Suitable for girls and boys aged 6+, teens and adults
The most popular workshop I run is online. You will be taught how to draw the proportions of the face correctly with simple instructions from Beth. When you know how to do it well then the fun will start. You will take part in a number of tasks to produce funny faces using paints, craft materials and magazines. Lots of laughter will take place while learning a really important skill. When you look in the mirror, you will be expected to use your imagination and create a face far from reality. Can’t wait to see the selfies!!
How does a Beth Morris Workshop zoom workshop work?
The participants will be muted on entry to the zoom session and it is very much a listen and learn workshop. However, this does mean the energy and enthusiasm will be any less that if we were all in the same room together. There will be chats, and plenty of demonstrations to watch and you will be encouraged to engage with questions via the chat facility on zoom. The tasks will be short but inventive so will get you thinking quickly and will leave you keen to develop your creativity after the workshop.
How can the same workshop be suitable for a child and an adult?
The way Beth teaches is to encourage and develop skills of all levels and ability. Therefore as the learner you will take responsibility for following the workshops and using the knowledge acquired to produce art work.
The workshops are taught using live demonstrations. I will offer simple and harder versions of the projects, showing examples that will suit both children, teens and adults. In my in-person workshops at my studio, I often present the same task to children and adults and have found this technique produces some inspirational art work.
A child needs to be old enough to listen, engage and follow instructions. Therefore I do not advise any younger than six to attend the workshop without a parent.
As an adult you will learn and apply the knowledge gained to your own art practice.
As the workshop is primarily listening, watching and doing together, the chat is mostly from the teacher so therefore is suitable for all.
The bottom line is….art is for everybody. How many times do parents watch their kids colouring in or paint and wish that they could get involved. You are never too old or too young to be an artist!!! Let’s do this!!!
I have two children, or myself and my children all want to attend, do I buy two tickets?
The cost of the workshop is valid per household. So if you have more than one child, please only purchase one ticket. Siblings can all watch the same workshop, and families can all join in together. Or if you have an older child and fancy drawing alongside them, again you just pay per household.
I don’t have any children. Can I just do the workshop myself?
Absolutely!!
How will I access the workshop?
The night before the workshop is due to take place you will receive the zoom ID code and password. Please do not share this with anybody else. All workshops will take place promptly at the times advertised.

Sharp pencil

If you don’t have watercolour paints , you can use washable felt pens (Crayola super tips) or any water based pens (not sharpies)

An open mind ready to be inspired⠀⠀
