Thursdays and Fridays 2.5 hours

Bookings & prepayment essential

Students study Whiteley's art-making techniques, explore his creative processes and make art themselves (teachers too!), surrounded by the inspiration of the studio space.

Select a topic from the following list or discuss the possibility of a theme relating directly to your students school topics with education staff at the studio. It is possible to organise a longer workshop to include a discussion tour (1.5 or 2.5 hrs) or perhaps a combination of themes e.g. life drawing and inspired by place. (Suitable for a larger group so that students can swap morning and afternoon sessions.)

follow the curve: Take a line for a walk through the Studio and engage with Whiteley`s love of the curve. Experiment with materials and techniques that Whiteley explored. Observation skills and drawing techniques will be developed through looking at Whiteley`s artworks and his unique approach to drawing.
