A look at how rubbing out, drawing over, tearing, smudging, folding, screwing up, burning, poking holes through and nearly completely destroying your work is a well used method of many artists!
This is a mixed media class in which we take destruction and creation as one and the same, learning the multitudes of ways in which we can utilise the act of destruction and erasure to create unexpected new works by unusual methods.
To kick things off Lucy McGeown will present a short 20 min lecture of how artists from Yves Klein , Gustav Metzer , Louise Bourgeois to Julie Mehretu, William Kentridge, Tacita Dean and Michael Landy have made work from destructive processes.
This will be a process led and playful class in which we look at the artists methods and ideas that create non-figurative and abstract work. By working between creating drawings and various acts of destructive intervention, we will be letting the processes and methods of erasure, ripping, re-assembly and overlaying create work that evolves and forms from one stage to the next.
This class promises to introduce you to new ideas and innovative techniques that will bring a fresh outcome to way in which you would usually create a drawing.
YOU WILL NEED:
-Newspaper/Magazines
-8 x sheets of paper (A4 and above)
-Scissors
-Masking Tape
-Glue
-Pens, Pencils, Pastels and Charcoal
-Any other materials you have - the more the better!
Everyone is welcome to join this Pay-What-You-Can class. We suggest a donation of £10, however we understand that may not be possible for everybody. Please be honest and pay what you can afford so that we may continue to offer our sessions on a donation basis.
