Suitable for KS4 / Years 10-11 / Level 2
Join artist Gillian Brent to explore our immersive exhibition, Igshaan Adams: Weerhoud, and create sculptural installations inspired by his artwork.
Through a series of observational looking and creative drawing activities, students will experiment with active mark making and large-scale drawings. They will discover more about Adams’ inspiration and the artistic processes he uses, developing creative responses to his work.
In the Clore Learning Studios, students will then experiment with sculpture making, creating 3D hanging artwork inspired by Adams’ immersive ‘cloud’ installations.
Bringing their sculptures together, students will create collaborative sculpture installations that they will then light and capture through photography.
Maximum of 16 students per school.
