\"Genevieve<\/a><\/p>\n

Name: Genevieve Woodbridge<\/span>
\n Occupation: Physiotherapist<\/span>
\n Joined NSA: Term 4 2011<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

NSA: What<\/span> doodle \/ drawing \/ painting did you do in your early life that you were the most proud of? How old were you?<\/p>\n

GENEVIEVE: Probably a drawing I did in art in year 7- it was a juxtaposition of a buddha’s head with some spoons. (a random combination I know but that is what juxtaposition is about!)<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

NSA: Have<\/span> you been always artistic \/ creative? if so, in what way?<\/p>\n

GENEVIEVE: I guess I have always been a bit creative- I loved art, crafty things and taking photos etc growing up. I did art through until year 12 in high school but did photography because I loved it and\u00a0 I also didn’t think I could paint very well.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

NSA: What<\/span> made you join NSA? Where did you hear\/find about NSA?<\/p>\n

GENEVIEVE:\u00a0My Mum bought me a term of drawing classes for my birthday as I hadn’t really done anything “arty” since school. I didn’t think I would paint but I’m really enjoying it. I found NSA searching on the internet.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

NSA: If<\/span> you are allowed to have any famous painting in the world on your wall, what would it be and Why?<\/p>\n

GENEVIEVE: Degas- La classe de danse (The Dancing class) c. 1873-75
\nI think his series of ballet dancers is so beautiful and the texture in the paint is so interesting to look at close up- it would be lovely to have hanging on your wall.<\/p>\n

NSA: W<\/span>hat are you working on in the class right now and what would you like to achieve with your art within a year?<\/p>\n

GENEVIEVE: I just finished a painting of a sunset over a field. I wanted to do something where I could practice being a bit more free with the brush strokes. My painting before was of Loch Fyne in Scotland and the water took me a long time to get right so I wanted to do something that needed a bit less detail. I’m just about to start a new landscape of another bush scene at sunrise (I’m a bit obsessed with skies!). In terms of what I’d like to achieve I really just want to continue to build my skills and enjoy what I’m doing. Perhaps build up to a portrait but I think that will take a while!<\/p>\n

NSA: why<\/span> do you take the class, or what do you get out of it?<\/p>\n

GENEVIEVE: I really enjoy coming to class- my job doesn’t have much of a creative outlet so this is great for that and I also find it really relaxing. It’s almost like meditation for me- I come home tired and realise I’ve spent the whole night not thinking about anything other than what I was doing in class.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

NSA:<\/span> Finally, would you design a T-shirt for Mike<\/span> to wear in the class?

\"mike_face\"Mike said<\/span> ”\u00a0It was obvious from the first class Genevieve could draw but like so many of my students at some early stage chose a career that wasn’t conducive to being creative but was reasonably secure ( what is these days) so needed lots of drawing to blow the cobwebs off as it were,within a year she was asked to submit an oil painting in the art school exhibition at Mosman Art Gallery<\/a> ”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
