Coventry workshops with Alexandra Blum<\/strong>
\nIn January and February 2020 artist Alexandra Blum led action packed day-long workshops in Coventry with Year 10 students at Finham Park School and Year 12 & 13 students at Sidney Stringer Academy and Ernesford Grange Community Academy. Finham Park students enjoyed the rare privilege of drawing Coventry cityscapes from the 11th floor of Coventry ArtSpace<\/a>, while the second workshop enabled students to use Sidney Stringer\u2019s own roof garden to closely observe and record aspects of their panoramic views of the city. The students really impressed us with their willingness and determination to experiment with Alex\u2019s unusual approach to perspective, and they made some fantastic drawings!<\/p>\n

Gauguin woodcuts at Braintree Museum<\/strong>
\nIn March 2020 we hosted a group of 30 conscientious Year 10 students from Tabor Academy at Braintree Museum, who were keen to encounter the rare woodcut prints by artist Paul Gauguin on display alongside the Courtaulds: Origins, Innovations and Family<\/a> exhibition. Taking Gauguin\u2019s Noa Noa<\/em> suite as their inspiration, students considered mythology and representation, mark making and technique, before designing, cutting and printing their own colourful woodcuts. The day ended with students curating their own mini exhibitions on the theme of feminism in art with artist Nadine Mahoney.<\/p>\n

I have never seen the group so focused. We wouldn\u2019t have been able to run the woodcut activity in one day back at school \u2013 students wouldn\u2019t have been able to concentrate for such a long period of time!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
