For ‘Mental Health Awareness Week’ Forrester Art Dept. recommend watching a relaxing Bob Ross painting tutorial video to help relieve stress and anxiety “You absolutely have to have dark in order to have light”. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek @forresterhs youtu.be/8ysFkNYwhAE

GREAT INSPIRATION for our S3 homework this week (iPad art) David Hockney has created 10 iPad ‘paintings’ whilst in lockdown. He is 83 years old and still embraces technology in his practice! He has also said: ‘the source of art is love.’ @forresterhs #lockdown #DavidHockney

This is from David Hockney, currently self-isolating in Normandy where he is drawing and painting the arrival of spring. “I really believe the source of art is love”. See all ten of his brand new images on the BBC website

Looking for a new creative challenge this week? Take inspiration from our David Hockney: Drawing from Life exhibition. In 1983 Hockney produced a self-portrait every day for 6 weeks. Create your own self-portrait each day this week and share them with us using #HockneyDrawings.
