Unleash the creative potential of mathematics! Whether it’s the drawings of MC Escher or the architecture of the Islamic world, maths has been used by artists and designers for centuries. Guest STEAM facilitator Alex Dutton will coach you through three ways of mathematically developing a repeat pattern into complex figuration as well as through mathematical randomness. Then, Colour My World facilitator Jem Perks will teach you ways to make use of digital art software to create complex tessellations from your work quickly and easily! No advanced maths knowledge needed.

Dive into the digital with this photo-manipulation workshop introducing the basics of video editing (masking, layering, colour-editing) on Adobe Photoshop. Use digital image manipulation and animation to create a ‘still’ moving image – or cinemagraph. Combining images from various visual sources, we will create a multi-layer, fantasy-inspired digital collage complete with moving elements designed to delight and surprise.
