Dear all,
I'm letting you know about a new course at Tate Modern, starting 15 October
- using drawing as tool and process to engage with modern and contemporary
art. (details below - and here:
http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/courses-and-workshops/gallery-st
udio )
Aiming to (for the first time, so quite exciting) use Tate Galleries as a
shared studio space, the sessions will include collaborative activities,
discussions as well as time to develop own approaches/methods and ideas.
In case you (I am sure you will all have valuable ideas to contribute!) or
your students (feel free to distribute widely) are interested.
Course is bookable as single session(s) or the whole course - this is a bit
fiddly, you have to book one session, go back book the next etc. In an
attempt to make the course accessible session price is only £20/£14
(concession) - access to the galleries outside opening hours alone, should
be worth this.
All best wishes,
Marianne
The Gallery as Studio: Drawing from the Collection
Mondays, 15 October to 19 November 2012, 18.4520.45
Location: Tate Modern, in the galleries
Led by artists Michèle Fuirer and Marianne Holm Hansen
Ticket price per session: £20/ £14 concessions available.
Can be purchased as single sessions or as a series.
This series of artist-led workshops invites you to explore drawing as a tool
and process to actively engage with modern and contemporary art and artists¹
practice.
Taking place in the galleries at Tate Modern, each workshop focuses on a
specific collection display and introduces drawing activities designed to
encourage a close examination of artworks across a range of different media,
including painting, sculpture, installation, video and film.
Using the gallery as a shared space for learning and creative enquiry, each
workshop introduces a number of activities as well as time to develop your
individual approaches to drawing, to create a community of practice based on
shared critical discussion and collaboration.
Experimenting with different approaches, you have the opportunity to explore
drawing in its broadest sense: as a tool for looking, thinking and learning
about modern and contemporary art, as a method to draw out and interpret the
artists¹ works and ideas. Working with a variety of materials including
pencil, masking tape, string, as well as paper itself, you are also
encouraged to move beyond the page to explore what may, today, constitute
expanded definitions of drawing.
These workshops are suitable for anyone interested in learning through
drawing. No previous experience is required.
