CHRISTOPHER HOGAN – ART CLASSES AT ONE & ONLY REETHI RAH have been great fun!
Plenty of great art spaces here at the resort for art and the inspiration of art is all around us here. I encourage the guests to go snorkelling and bring back there photos so that they can paint what they have seen. This has been working extremely well and you will see that one of my young students has even bought a piece of shell into the class. She has done very well with her interpretation of the colours and movement in her painting, well done.
Understanding the exercise and the challenges of working with a new medium continues to bring amazing results from guests of all ages, that, mostly have not painted before, immersing themselves into the art process bring with it different levels of rewards and I have many guests that say to me at the end of the lesson how they have gained…..as if it is an unexpected result, to me it is a common response from guests who take my class.
Moments like these turn into memories and that is what my artist in residency is all about.

I have been enjoying taking art classes with the guests of the One and Only Reethi Rah Maldives.
In my open air art studio under the swaying coconut palms is, I think, the ideal location for the creative in us all to come out, here at the One & Only Reethi Rah (which means Beautiful Island in Maldivian) my students have excelled in producing some truly wonderful art works reflective of the surroundings.
Here are a few pics and comments from guests that have given me their permission to post on my blog, thank you and keep up the good work!
