Warm-up:

• Quick abstract sketches: paint 3 fast swatches in colours that feel calm, angry, joyful. Share and compare.

Exploration:

• Experiment with inks, acrylics, and pastels.

• Layer washes and bold marks to test transparency vs opacity.

• Create a colour “energy map” on large paper.

Concept:

• Colour as a language of mood and movement.

• Discuss how artists like Wassily Kandinsky or Helen Frankenthaler used colour to evoke music and emotion.

Outcome:

Participants reconnect with colour as an emotional tool, learning to trust instinctive mark-making.

Warm-up:

• “Movement Line”: Paint to music (choose 3 tracks — slow, upbeat, chaotic). Notice how brushstrokes change.

Exploration:

• Use large brushes, sponges, and improvised tools (cardboard, sticks).

• Layer colours in gestural sweeps.

• Explore contrast: fluid washes vs sharp accents.

Concept:

• Colour in rhythm with the body.

• Artist link: Jackson Pollock (action painting) and Sam Gilliam (draped colour movement).

Outcome:

Participants explore body–art connection, learning to see colour as physical energy.

Warm-up:

• Quick collage challenge: tear coloured papers, arrange them by “loudest” to “softest.”

Exploration:

• Combine acrylic, pastel, collage, fabric, and texture mediums.

• Work with layering and scraping back.

• Focus on transitions — how one colour/texture shifts into another.

Concept:

• Depth comes from contrast, layering, and surface play.

• Artist link: Anselm Kiefer (material depth) and Robert Rauschenberg (combine painting).

Outcome:

Participants learn to push materials beyond paint, exploring how colour interacts with texture and form.

Warm-up:

• Guided reflection: “What colour describes your week? Your inner voice today?”

Exploration:

• Create a final large-scale mixed-media piece.

• Encourage symbolic use of colour — personal memories, cultural references, or intuitive expression.

• Optional: Incorporate text, photography, or found objects.

Concept:

• Colour as storytelling and identity.

• Artist link: Sonia Delaunay (colour + rhythm of life) and Mark Rothko (emotional immersion).

Outcome:

Participants create a resolved, deeply personal work that embodies their own colour journey, leaving with confidence in their expressive voice.
