Join in with this mindful art session where you will have the freedom and support to unwind and to get creative in a series of guided drawing activities with artist Pui Lee.

Chinese New Year is quickly approaching on Friday 12th February 2021 and Chinese dragons are regarded as being symbols of power, strength and good luck. They are so important that the Chinese New Year festival celebrations often feature a special performance of a dragon dance enjoyed by the community!

As a warm-up exercise, you will get the opportunity to practice mark-making and use of shapes on paper. For the main activity, Pui Lee will show you step-by step how to draw a Chinese Dragon. She will then show you how to complete your picture by either adding tone and/or colour using the drawing tools and/or using collage possibilities.

Art is always great for relaxation, reduction of stress and above all, is good fun! This workshop is well suited for those not so confident with drawing, aiming to help get you started with some creative ideas and techniques to try out. You will end up with some drawings that you can continue with at your own leisure if you don’t finish within the session itself.
