Working with various adults, using topographic maps, city plans, nautical navigation maps and road atlases, we created a completely new 'systems' with shopping centres and motorways across the see, London neighbouring with Sheffield and colour patterns as the new paths :-) plenty of fun and loads of travelling stories told.
The workshop aimed to execute large scale artwork and to encourage working collaboratively on a huge piece of paper. It was also a great opportunity to try new scale, sweeping mark making, freedom of space, and enjoyment of creating one piece with a whole group.
Materials used: Fabriano paper roll, pencils, felt pens, sharpies, crayons, inks, brushes and sponges.
'Draw, Imagine, Tell a Story' workshop at The Tetley involved building a scene using objects and characters, imagining the story and drawing it using various materials. All sorts of techniques have been used and amazing tales told :-)
We gathered together to explore the possibilities of creating a 'new' shape or a form and play around with it. We had fabulous chats with music flowing freely and exchanging information ranging from creative events, free swimming opportunities, to food, art and many more. Loads of questions about 'what is abstract art' and 'how do I draw' have been discussed.
It's been amazing to see varied people coming over and enjoying creating in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere. I have been impressed with you all and your courage to explore. Please, do not stop!! You all have been great and inspirational! :-)
The works below are made by: Faith, Paige, Rysiu, Stefan, Danny, Wain and few more :-)
