Join us for a fun and experimental drawing workshop planned and run by the 20 young people from Royal Museums Greenwich's Saturday Art Club. The workshop will explore what drawing means to the young people in the club and involve a takeover of the Great Map in the National Maritime Museum.
About
The event will be part of Drawn Together at Royal Museums Greenwich, a season of events dedicated to drawing from March to June 2023. The season will explore and celebrate drawing through activities, trails, talks and events for all ages groups and abilities.The drawing season will use the collection, the four exhibiting venues and conservation centre to investigate the art of drawing, running in consultation with the Drawing Correspondence art collective. The collective consists of Tania Kovats, an artist, sculptor and professor of Drawing and Making at the University of Dundee; artist, draughtsman, speaker and Dean of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design at University of Dundee, Anita Taylor; and artist Chloe Briggs, a drawing instructor and Chair of Foundation and Online Foundation at Paris College of Art.
The season will run alongside the new exhibition The Van de Veldes: Greenwich, Art and the Sea, opening in March 2023 at the Queen’s House. In the exhibition, the public will be able to discover how drawing was at the heart of the practice and process of both artists who once had a studio in the Queen’s House.
