A great way to spend Fireworks night inside, in the warm, with hot drinks and snacks, creating our own artworks. They were quiet, but certainly not understated. All vibrant, each telling a story, and exuding the personality of the creator. Let's get into them...

Donna - A spectacular display of colourful fireworks was created using mixed media and imagination! Love the sprinkle of stars added together with the pencil line marks, giving them movement. Tissue paper, pre-cut gold and silver stars, felt-tip pens and graphite pencil were used.

Phil - A fantastic, colourful piece of digital art, cleverly created. Phil used the Toon.me app to generate each image and then put the whole compilation together on a different application, Inshot a great result.

Noor - Two amazing artworks, imaginative and full of colour. The top left picture shows Guy Fawkes and the bonfire. That fire looks fierce and is producing a lot of smoke, awesome! Drawn using soft pastels. The bottom right picture shows a crowd of people gathered to watch a bonfire and a dazzling fireworks display. Soft pastels, Sharpie Pens, coloured pencils and graphite were used to create this artwork.

Barbara - An eerie but stunning painting which shows the Queen Elizabeth Tower, in which is housed Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament ablaze. Barbara explained she decided to turn Bonfire Night on its head and have the den of iniquity, which is the House of Parliament, burning, rather than Guy Fawkes, as is traditional. The tiny specs of black ash floating in the air and the reflection of the flames in the River Thames are great touches. Water colour paints were used.

Andy - Fabulous mixed media art on black, which really brings out the bright colours of the firework displays. The top picture was made from foraged leaves arranged to form a bonfire shape, and a gentle crescent moon is shining on a clear, starry night. The bottom picture shows an explosive firework display. Great use of materials, soft pastels and leaves.

Sarah - 'Fireworks' watching from afar. Lighting up the sky and breathing in the colours while reminiscing. A scene painted from memory, building upon my imagination, thinking of life standing on a veranda, overlooking a small town. Love the lights in the town and specs of reflection in the wooded area on the hillside in the distance with this painting. Painted using acrylics, freehand, no sketch.
Can you smell the smoke and hear the crowd with the energy exuding from some of these artworks, as well as the connections we have and the nostalgia we feel with events from the past? So many different ways this topic was explored, and so interesting to hear about everyone's experiences while talking in the art session, an incredible evening.
