The residents at Village 135 were a delight to teach and incredibly talented. Here I assisted fine artist and portrait painter, Emma Knowles on conducting a lesson on self portaits. All individuals were excited about their artistic progress and showed me pieces they’ve made over their time here, this can be seen below. I was very impressed by their abilities and passion, I was excited to visit again for another session.

This lesson focused on landscape and place, exploring areas and scenery to draw on inspiration. I enjoyed sparking their creativity, encouraging them to focus on mundane scenes, finding beauty within ordinary places. Some worked from the nature out front of the buidling, some from their rooms and kitchen while others found photography from their travels. I mostly enjoyed getting to know everyone, they were a lovely group with great talent and a brilliant sense of humour.
