Experimenting with Mixed Media and Exploring Materials

By Sheila Ceccarelli

To become ‘articulate’ and able to understand and manipulate the material world there has to be time invested into the exploration of materials and experimentation with a broad range of media.

This post follows on from Drawing to Feed Making – Making to Feed Drawing and Working Through Sculptural Ideas of Landscape in Wire and demonstrates how given, time, space and materials, teenagers will further their exploration and experimentation with unique and sometimes outstanding results. It is important to allow the unexpected to happen and give time and space for reflection and understanding.

Mo is a Scottish visual artist with a MA (Hons) degree in Fine Art. Her work is an intuitive response to the way memory is overlaid with historic or recent experiences of loss, absence and change, experimenting with ways to convey ‘presence’, or the sense of something being revealed or concealed. She is inspired by familial connections to the landscape and her inherited collection of earthy textured pottery ware. Small in scale, her work is mostly on paper, manipulated with mixed media to create subtle, richly textured surfaces. Mo is responsible for all social media marketing for AccessArt on Instagram and works part-time.
