First Meeting of UIC Painting Group

On Tuesday, 27 May 2014, the first meeting of the UIC Painting Group was held. At the meeting, painting teacher Gemma Riba gave each member of the group a drawing with several abstract lines. The participants had to use their imagination to create a picture by connecting the lines.

After using the drawings to analyse the participants’ personalities, Gemma Riba gave a short introduction to the world of painting in which she expanded on art, beauty and the fundamental elements of a painting (rhythm, harmony, balance, focal point, etc.).

To wrap up the first meeting, the teacher gave each member some leaves. They had to choose a section of the leaf to shade with pencil by using a fine line for the lighter areas. She then assessed each one and asked them to colour the leaves using different shades of green for the next meeting.
