Experimenting Sculpturally through Clay and Modrock: Jazmin van Breda
The workshops will focus on freedom of expression, considering alternative frameworks for living and new ways of seeing. Children will experiment sculpturally through the medium of clay and modrock.
We will begin with an introduction to decorative art and the work of the Bloomsbury artists within Charleston Farmhouse. This was followed by a drawing exercise, responding to a series of everyday objects, considering how to change or alter their purpose and function. Children will then engaged in experimental making from the drawings into plasticine maquettes.
Next, looking at Picasso’s pots and plates, considering the merging of art, sculpture, and function. Working from the collages of previous weeks, we made everyday objects out of clay to later use as ‘canvases’ to paint on.
Expanding our focus out of the home and into the architecture of our cities, children will consider how buildings are decorated. Looking at the hidden art of cities, focusing on Portuguese tiles in the city of Lisbon, and asked the question: how might we decorate our cities?
