From acrylics to ink, oil pastels and patterns, this workshop is jam-packed with artistic development, art history and adventures galore.
I Think I’m Turning Bauhaus…
Looking at geometric, primitive and abstract art and design, you will be influenced to create a 3D architectural piece with an assemblage of coloured painted wood. Study visual text in graphic design and merge a collage of human figures, to form a dynamic outcome. The result will bring together light, and motion in a contemporary Bauhaus twist, all informed by Bauhaus masters like Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
