Exquisite Corpse and other workshops at Britannia
Saturday, June 9, 2012 from 2:00pm - 4:30pm
Britannia Community Centre, 1661 Napier Street, Vancouver BC FREE On the afternoon of June 9, Britannia Community Centre hosts a total of four unique and inspiring workshops to get you drawing!
Exquisite Corpse: Draw and Foldover Workshop with Sylvia Oates 2:00pm – 4:30pm, Outdoors at Britannia Building on an old parlour game, the Surrealists exploited the mystique of accident by constructing collective collages of images, which they called "Exquisite Corpse". The first person draws the head, folds the paper to conceal their image, than passes it on to the next player for a drawing of the torso, and so on, until the full image is revealed. At the Foldover tent at Britannia’s Draw Down, you too can be a Surrealist. Add to someone's start or start one yourself - be ready for a surprise when your collaborative creation unfolds. This fold-over game will delight young and old alike. If you like to doodle, you will love it. Collaborative Still Life Drawing Workshop with the Community Arts Council of Vancouver 2:00pm – 4:30pm, Outdoors at Britannia Still life drawing is rooted in the art of careful observation. Shape, shadow, proportion, texture, form and composition—what do you see? Join this still life drawing workshop and practice drawing a still life from a number of different perspectives. Non-Traditional Drawing Workshop with Robi Smith 2:00pm – 4:30pm, Outdoors at Britannia How do you draw with a fork, sponge, thread or a charred piece of wood?
