Shelley Rhodes: Exploring a Theme

(Zoom only)

About Shelley:

Shelley lives in north west England. She studied graphic design and worked in the television industry before retraining to teach Art and Design in secondary Schools. She has been working as a mixed media artist for over 20 years, making art to sell and exhibit. She is member of the Textile Study Group and continues to teach and give talks. She is the author of ‘Sketchbook Explorations’ and ‘Fragmentation and Repair’.

“Exploring a Theme”
In this talk Shelley shows how she takes an initial idea or concept through various stages to exhibiting finished work. Examples are based on her work investigating coral bleaching and the effects of plastic in the oceans and how one idea often leads to another.  She demonstrates how she explores ideas through drawing, mark-making, collage, print and photography. She explains the processes and techniques used while investigating materials,
always taking the ‘what if’ approach, as she her develops ideas.
 
You will see how she creates samples, records ideas, develops designs and as she works towards presenting and displaying finished pieces.
