What's On in Booragul

Discover Confidence in Art Making with Jade Perry Hull. Confident art making shouldn’t be reserved for experienced creatives. Jade’s weekly sessions invite participants to rethink what ‘successful’ art making can look like. Together you'll explore and respond to works of art at MAC yapang, learn key art elements and design principles, and then playfully break - and reinvent - the rules through experimentation and individual expression. Whether you’re an established art maker seeking fresh inspiration or a complete beginner, these classes are designed to welcome everyone. Above all, our goal is to offer an easy-going, supportive space where participants can build connections while growing confidence in their art making and beyond. Across five weeks, you’ll use drawing, painting, and printmaking techniques to create a series of 2D artworks. Experiment with materials such as pastels, inks, paints, paper collage, and more as you develop your own creative voice.
