Bluebeany Art Club
During the COVID-19 quarantine time I have used social media to run a Bluebeany Art Club on Sundays 2-4pm. This was an opportunity for people of all ages to take a little time out of their day during the lockdown to make a piece of Artwork inspired by a given theme. I accompanied the art making with a themed spotify playlist. I was inspired to create the Bluebeany Art Club in response to the Noel Fieldings Art Club which ran from 3-5pm on Saturdays. The Bluebeany Art Club ran for 11 weeks during the first lockdown and has been running again regularly since January . The activity of facilitating this art club during the lockdowns gave me purpose and encouraged me and the participants to make work based around the various themes. The imagery I created for the publicity materials also fed into my Absolutely Cultured Creative Micro Commission animation work ‘Welcome to the House of Fun’. I also included some of the Bluebeany Artwork with the House of Fun as art on the walls. You can check out some of the wonderful artwork made below.
