Make and fill a sketchbook in Norwood Park

Age 6-12
In this Summer holiday workshop students will learn how important sketchbooks are for planning, documenting and observing ideas in art. We will discuss how artists use sketchbooks to inform their practice. We will then use Japanese bookbinding techniques to make mini sketchbooks in the workshop space which we will take with us to Norwood park. In the park we will experiment with a range of drawing, collecting and recording techniques to fill their mini book before returning to the workshop space to share the work and complete the books to take home.

Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th August
Age 6-12
In this two day sculpture workshop we will look at contemporary artists who use cardboard construction in their work and discuss links to sustainability.
On day one, students will experiment with creating joints and making 3D shapes with cardboard. They will also make observational studies of objects related to technology. They will then utilise this knowledge to construct a sculpture of a tech object of their choice.
On day two, we will experiment with colour mixing using acrylic paint and how to paint detail. Students will paint their cardboard constructed sculptures to resemble their chosen object. They will be able to take their sculpture home.
