Looking, Thinking, Making
In Contemporary Art Practice
Cost £195, concessions may be available
This course is in partnership with East Sussex College.
Join us for this open and friendly practical class where we will take a critical and creative look at the exhibitions in the Hastings Contemporary gallery. We’ll look more closely at the work, the building, and location, and use them as a springboard for exploring contemporary art practice.
The focus will be on looking at how artists respond to a range of subjects and then find ways for us to express our own reactions, thoughts and feelings to these subjects.
We will use a range of 2D and 3D art materials, such as pens, pastels, charcoal, paint, collages, and cardboard, to explore different genres and themes. Activities will include drawing, painting, collage, zine-making, small sculptures, phone photography, and printmaking.
