Painter Natasha Day shares her workshop for life learners called “Intuitive Art-Freedom to Paint” using intuition to explore paint and making marks on canvas.

This project was shared with AccessArt as part of the 40 Artist Educator Project, funded by Arts Council England, aiming to highlight and celebrate artist-led teaching and facilitation.

Intuitive Art- Freedom to Paint by Natasha Day

You’re keen to paint and get creative but you’re scared! Scared of doing it “wrong”, scared of it looking “wrong”, scared of confirming to yourself your deepest fear; that you are no good at “it”!

Natasha’s approach focuses on disengaging the ‘logical’ technical side of the brain (left side) and move towards working with intuition and the creative right side (right brain).

What We Like About This Resource….

“Rachel has contributed some great resources to AccessArt and we really like how this idea captures the concept of ‘returning’ – something that school children will have processed over the past year. We love how this activity encourages hands to feel and move paint about freely – to experience its qualities and tactile nature. You could try this in your setting using different migratory birds such as Ospreys or Swifts as inspiration, with the children looking at images of these birds before trying some observational drawing.” – Rachel, AccessArt.
