aim4art is a voluntary community arts group, formed in 2009, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of painting and drawing in the Tees Valley. We aim to paint, aim to draw, aim to create art. We meet every Tuesday (10am-4pm) at The Barn, overlooking Hemlington Lake, Middlesbrough, TS8 9DA. We have no regular tutor, but support each other and organise a programme of visits and workshops. Visit our website at www.aim4art.org.uk

Barnstorming
Dee Maloney at the public hanging of The Barn Artists at The Station, Richmond. Thanks to Dee for instigating and organising the whole thing and good luck to all those taking part. Great to see a joint venture between aim4art and Lakeside Artists.

Peter Hicks Visit
For the first time I actually managed to attend a visit to Peter Hicks' studio and found it just as inspirational as I expected, though I have to admit I haven't actually got a paintbrush out yet.
Peter summed up his approach as 'Drawing with colour' and said he aimed to 'Speak about the landscape, rather than explicitly depict it.' He stressed the importance of developing skills, but then to abandon control and let the materials do what they want. His final message to us was, 'Never place any limits on the possibilities of where your work may go and what it can achieve.'
Thanks to Julia for the photos below:

Leeds Visit
Here are some pictures from our visit to the Tetley Gallery for the Jerwood Prize Exhibition followed by the slightly empty Leeds City Gallery. While you're here, have a look at the next post as well.
Is it a tree, do you think?
Nice door
A characteristic pose
Buying wallpaper?
Looks like an altercation?
