From painted poetry to the majesty of trees, Banksy’s subversive street art to Georgia O’Keeffe’s delicate flowers and sculpture inspired by Miró, we’ll explore how nature has inspired artistic expression across styles, mediums, and movements.You’ll get to work with a range of exciting materials and techniques, including: Mod roc, Up-cycled paper, watercolours and acrylics.
