What is Cerulean Art Space?
Cerulean Art Space is a relaxing, non-judgmental and playful creative space to make art work alongside others. It is intended to be a place to pause, unwind and reflect, and to get away from the to do lists and deadlines. We offer theme-based art making workshops held at your workplace, home, or location of choice.
You do not need to have artist training or deem yourself as creative to participate. Our workshops are designed to allow the flexibility to provide varying degrees of guidance and structure based on each participant’s needs.
What to expect during a session?
The facilitated art making sessions are based on a pre-determined theme. The group may range from 4 to 8 people supported by a Facilitator. Each session will be 60 minutes. Art materials will be supplied by Cerulean Space. Currently we offer the following programs:
- Circle of life: Create your own mandala – Mandala directly translates to “circle” in Sanskrit. Circular forms hold a unique, sacred and mystic role across different cultures. Varying forms of mandalas also exist in nature such as in snowflakes, plants and human irises. During this workshop, you will create your own mandala from scratch. Whether you wish to adopt a precise, intricate and controlled approach; or go with a free flowing, expressive and spontaneous style, you will have the opportunity to explore your inner unconscious world and represent it in the form of mandala art.
- Paint outside the lines: Watercolour on ink – Did you dislike colouring inside the lines when you were a child? Are you tired of conforming to the rigidity of life or the never ending need to meet others’ expectations? Come and join our paint outside the lines workshop using watercolour on original hand-drawn images in fineliners. Applying your own flare and interpretation to create one-of-the-kind watercolour pieces. If you would like a challenge, you can draw your own image with fineliners before adding a splash of colour.
- Make your mark: Explore your rhythmic energy – Feeling frustrated, anxious or stressed? Unsure about how to describe your feeling but have an urge to externalise it? Worried that you are not “creative enough” to make art? Try our “Make your mark” workshop to explore your inner rhythms. Let go of conscious intentions to create an outcome. Instead, listen to your body and inner self, follow the rhythm of your hand and make marks.
At any point of the workshop, if you feel that the chosen theme is too restrictive or not resonating with you, you are welcome to create anything else using the materials available. Remember, this is time and space carved out for “you”.
You will get to take your art work home at the end of the session.
Any reference images, templates or photographs used during workshops are original artworks by a Cerulean Space artist.
Note: Cerulean Art Space workshops are NOT considered art therapy. They are intended to be focused on fostering relaxation, promoting creative expressions and forming connections with others.
