How can drawing help us move between two and three dimensions? How might we consider sculpture taking up space instead of sitting on a white plinth? What can we learn from each other by sharing creative practices and working collaboratively?
In this collaborative workshop with young artist Alex Heard, we will be approaching the sculptures of Anthony Caro through drawing both small details and wider views of his architectural installations. This will be our ‘way in’ to better understand Caro’s use of space and it’s relation to the human figure. We will then begin to playfully reinterpret our drawings, collaboratively building installations using cardboard and other found materials to quickly construct our own assemblages.
Please note
All basic drawing materials are provided. Feel free to bring your own sketchbook and materials, but please make sure it is not a messy medium.
This is a drop-in workshop from 6.00 – 8.00 pm. Booking does not guarantee access to the workshop and spaces will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.
