Description

Voronoi Diagrams are geometric patterns that frequently appear in nature, such as on the coat of giraffes, in the motifs of leaves and dragonfly wings. They are used to partition surfaces efficiently and have a practical application in almost all areas of science. Their geometric structure is often an inspiration in design, architecture and art, and they feature in porcelain decoration, The Water Cube Aquatic Centre in Beijing, The Gold Coast Art Centre in Australia, and many more.

In this class I will be guiding you step by step how to draw your own Voronoi diagram art. I will teach you how to apply just three simple geometric concepts using a compass, so you can generate your own infinite variety of polygon tessellations as well as circular designs. Then I will demonstrate a range of fun colouring techniques and texture explorations, such as watercolour layering, using salt, masking fluid and even bubble wrap.

This class is suitable for all levels and it includes visual instructions as well as ready traceable templates. The skills learnt during the course can be applied to any of your own future art.
