Self Portrait 'Ruth'

A piece consisting of pencil drawn shapes and areas of red and blue paint, that highlight a character in the centre. Created during JumpstART, a Suffolk Artlink arts course for adults with learning disabilities.

JumpstART was a Suffolk Artlink arts course for adults with learning disabilities. The studio project provided Jumpstart students with an opportunity to develop their skills in specific art forms and mediums. Led by professional artists students were encouraged to expand on their creativity and skill base which included use of pastels, watercolours, inks and acrylics. Using these different mediums students experimented in portraiture, perspective and collage.
