Parents/guardians and children aged 12-17 years are invited to join us for an open-ended art-making workshop.
Adults will be encouraged to draw alongside their youngsters, in a friendly, relaxed and inspiring afternoon workshop. This workshop takes inspiration from the <A HREF="https://zeitzmocaa.museum/artists/william-kentridge/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">William Kentridge</A> extensive exhibition, <A HREF="https://zeitzmocaa.museum/exhibition/exhibitions/why-should-i-hesitate-putting-drawings-to-work/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Why Should I Hesitate: Putting Drawings To Work</A>. Participants will respond to Kentridge's work, Drawings for the Head and the Load (2017-2018) and will be encouraged to create their own ideas and make new work.
This workshop will start with a brief tour of the Kentridge exhibition, as a source and an inspiration. We will then return to the studio and create with a variety of materials and light sources to extend the experience of illustration in a playful and fresh way. Children and adults get to enjoy making large drawings using the methods of collage. Families will work individually and collectively in a lively and social art-making environment.
Tea, coffee, biscuits and juice will be served half-way through this workshop. This workshop is for families who want to spend creative time together. No experience necessary - just curiosity and interest in art.
RSVP is essential as space is limited.
