What is Multiply? 

Multiply is a national fund aiming to help adults aged 19+ improve their numeracy skills. It is specifically for those who have *less than a level 2 maths (That’s a GCSE or O level grade C or above or a CSE level 1) or who have a need to refresh their skills.

What’s maths got to do with art? 

Well actually you might be surprised at just how much maths you are using when making art, without even realizing it!  Our range of multiply courses will help you to feel more confident about your number skills whilst producing your own fantastic artwork.

All Multiply courses are completely FREE for eligible learners*, and learners will also receive a pack of lovely art materials to take away with them at the end of the course.

THURSDAYS

Abstract Paintings, with Warren Day

Starts Thursday 14th November / 1:00pm – 3:30pm (at Artspace Cinderford)

The course runs for 4 weeks / 10 hours

FREE subject to eligibility*

Create an abstract painting using geometric shapes and patterns. Learn how to make your own brightly coloured and exciting abstract painting using acrylic paints and mixed media. We will explore different methods to achieve visually interesting combinations of overlapping shapes and repeat patterns to eventually conclude in a beautiful multi-layered geometric image.

Using simple art related number skills, you will have the opportunity to make your own art canvas, which will involve basic measuring, cutting and stretching materials over a wooden frame you have made. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles and repeat pattern motifs will use diameters and angles. Colour mixing will cover very simple ratios and fractions.

No experience necessary. All materials provided but do wear old clothes as it can be rather messy!

Artspace is a fully accessible venue. Carers & supporters are welcomed alongside learners. Please let us know if you have any specific access needs so that we can support you in your learning.
