It’s a New Year! What better time to reflect? Our project this week is focused on reflection art. This type of art is not designed to mirror reality, but is a way to describe and discuss your thoughts and feelings. The year 2020 is our subject of reflection. Use words, colors, shapes and your five senses to create your reflection artwork.
This art project is inspired by our new exhibition Born Out of This. The exhibition highlights the work of brothers John and James Rees. Take some time to explore their art journey and to gather inspiration for your own look at the past year. You can view their work here
