Tutor - Nick Moore

2-day workshop

Saturday 10 October, 10.30am - 4.30pm and Sunday 11 October 10.30am-3.30pm

Explore different approaches to still life through drawing, painting, collage and imagination. We will stretch the boundaries of this age-old discipline. Working with ideas of two and three dimensions, line and texture, solid and fluid, black and white, representational and abstract, the emphasis will be on exploration and playfulness rather than ‘getting it right’.

There will also be a slide presentation exploring these issues in an art historical context.

All basic materials are provided, although we would encourage you to bring along some collage items to personalise your work.

Please wear clothes and footwear suitable for a studio environment, and bring a bag or portfolio for taking work home with you.

Suitable for all abilities.
