<h3><em><strong><strong>Exclusive November Offer: Dive into the world of creative painting with a special Pre-Black Friday 30% discount! Only available for a limited amount of tickets.</strong></strong></em></h3><h3><br></h3><h2>'Timeless Tales Through Wall Painting'</h2><p><br></p><h3>A transformative painting workshop that invites you to explore the realms of contemporary art, storytelling, and elegant home decor. Experience the joy of creating through techniques that align with modern artistic trends, empowering you to unfold your unique style and expression.</h3><p><br></p><h3>In a special segment of the workshop, we embark on a collective mural creation, channeling pure, childlike expressionism and use art as an universal language inspired by ancient cave paintings and hieroglyphics.</h3><h3>This mural aims to craft an honest visual representation of society, woven with our diverse stories and expressions. This powerful creation seeks to serve as a valuable historical, psychological, and sociological archive, offering profound insights for present and future generations, aiding in the understanding and appreciation of our human journey.</h3><p><br></p><h3>In another section of the workshop, we’ll dive into the art of decorative wall painting, a trend that’s been catching on in homes recently. You'll learn straightforward (abstract) painting techniques that can transform your living space. This includes by creating a wall painting but can be applied to your furniture as well. After this workshop, you’ll be able to create a unique wall painting that complements your home’s design, adding that personal touch without the need for an outside artist.</h3><p><br></p><p><br></p><h2><em><em>What to Expect:</em></em></h2><p><br></p><h3>- <strong><strong>Contemporary Painting Techniques</strong></strong>:</h3><h3>Learn methods aligned with today’s artistic trends.</h3><p><br></p><h3><strong><strong>- Personal Style Development.</strong></strong></h3><h3>Explore and nurture your unique artistic expressions and get personal tips in how to use techniques which fit into your personal style or/and learn how to visualize your ideas and stories.</h3><p><br>-Learn to avoid the blockage of starting a painting by shifting the focus on the outcome of the painting to start focussing on painting as an act in itself.<br>There is no good or bad art. Everyone has their own unique way of expressing them selves through art and painting, but the idea of ​​having to perform often creates a blockage. At the beginning of the workshop we start by sketching without the focus on any outcome, and share certain ways to avoid a blockage and not be afraid of a blank canvas. Sometimes starting to paint abstractly or decoratively can create an opportunity to enjoy the process of painting again in a childlike way and sometimes when just focussing on the act of painting without thinking about the result of the paiting can create a sort of meditative state and the rest will mostly follow organically.</p><p><br></p><h3><strong><strong>- Elegant Home Decor:</strong></strong></h3><h3>Discover how to beautify spaces with personal and stylish touches by using wall painting as a way to enhance your home decor, by using similar techniques as being used by contemporary abstract painters.</h3><p><br></p><h3><strong><strong>- Collective Mural Creation:</strong></strong></h3><h3>Contribute to a mural that encapsulates a rich tapestry of societal stories and expressions.</h3><h3><br></h3><h3><strong><strong>Join us, unlocking doors to artistic exploration, personal expression, and a vibrant understanding of our shared human experience. You don't need to be an artist or have artistic skills; just come with an open mind!</strong></strong></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><p>Naomi Mitsuko Makkelie (born in 1992) initiated this as part of a global project with the aim of documenting contemporary society through a series of murals. These artworks serve as historical archives and social experiments, addressing pressing issues such as individualism and societal pressures, while critiquing the current state of the art world.</p><p>She collaborates with her mother, Ellen Makkelie (born in 1965), a fellow Treehouse resident, to bring this workshop to life. Naomi earned her Fine Art degree from HKU in 2018, the same year she garnered the Buning Brongers Prize.</p><p>This year, she became a resident at Treehouse and began sharing her studio with her mother, Ellen Makkelie, a seasoned artist, painter, and art educator who has been conducting workshops for over 20 years, with the majority being painting workshops.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h3>The workshop is a part of the 1+1 event, organized and sponsored by I AMsterdam.
