SUMMARY:Beyond Representation
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Representation: Drawing from Life and Imagination \nUnlock your creative potential by pushing the boundaries of figure drawing\, guided by the revolutionary practices of three groundbreaking artists—Max Ernst\, Hilma af Klint\, and Louise Bourgeois. This course will inspire you to move beyond conventional representation and find your unique artistic voice through imaginative and expressive drawing techniques. People with any level of artistic experience are welcome\, from total beginners to established artists. \nThrough study of each artist’s approach to drawing\, you’ll gain the confidence to break free from traditional figure drawing methods. We’ll explore how the unconscious mind\, spirituality\, and deeply personal symbolism can be harnessed to create evocative works that blend reality and imagination. \n\nMax Ernst (6th Nov): Known for his surrealist drawings\, Ernst used automatic drawing techniques to access the subconscious and explore the fantastic. We’ll experiment with surrealist methods like automatic drawing and frottage (rubbing) to discover how spontaneity and chance can lead to imaginative and otherworldly figures.\nHilma af Klint (13th Nov): A visionary of abstraction\, Hilma af Klint’s work sought to visualise the spiritual and scientific realms beyond what is visible to the eye. Her mystical approach will inspire us to “blast apart” traditional figure drawing\, incorporating music\, meditation\, and spiritual exploration to create forms that transcend the physical world.\nLouise Bourgeois (20th Nov): Known for her deeply personal\, symbolic drawings\, Bourgeois used abstraction and symbolism as a means of processing emotions. Her imagery of spiders\, spirals\, and fragmented body parts invites us to tap into our own emotional landscapes. We’ll explore abstraction as a tool for self-expression\, using personal symbols and motifs to create powerful\, emotive drawings.\n\nThroughout the course\, you’ll engage in dynamic drawing exercises that blend observation (from photographs)\, memory\, and imagination\, encouraging you to push the boundaries of what figure drawing can be. Whether you’re seeking to refine your technique or develop a more expressive and imaginative style\, this course will provide the tools and inspiration to take your work to the next level. \nTERM Themed Life Drawing is streamed LIVE via Zoom on London UK time zone. Coordinated and delivered by professional artists Klaire Doyle\, Anna FC Smith\, and guests based in England. \n£13.70 for a single class or £33.22 for all three. \nTo book: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/beyond-representation-drawing-from-life-and-imagination-tickets-1054467413419?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Theo Major: Walking on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Cross Street Arts invites you to Theo Major: Walking on Fire \nJoin us for an illuminating talk by renowned art historian Michael Howard as he delves into the life and work of Wigan-born artist Theodore Major. Known for his powerful and gritty portrayals of Northern England\, Major’s work captures the raw beauty of industrial landscapes and the emotional depth of working-class life. Howard\, a respected expert in British art\, will explore the influences behind Major’s evocative style and his place within the broader art movement of the 20th century. This event is a rare opportunity to gain insight into one of the North’s most compelling yet underappreciated artists. Don’t miss this chance to deepen your appreciation for Major’s bold\, haunting legacy. \nDoors open from 6.30pm for hot drinks and conversation. The talk will start at 7pm and run for about an hour. There will be time for Q&A and conversation afterwards. \nDate: 6th December 2024\nTime: 6.30 – 9.00pm\nLocation: St Wilfrid’s Hall\, Standish\, WN6 0JT \n
