I always really enjoy these portrait workshops. Especially as the students are creating images of themselves. It makes for interesting conversations and at times some real critical analysis.
I visited Westhoughton High School recently and delivered my Portrait Illustration Workshop to a group of Year 9’s. The mark making was strong and they set to the task will wild abandon. Well, almost! There was a modicum of control. I
t was my first visit to this school after having met the art teacher on another workshop that I had delivered some months before. There was a lot of strong wotk over the day and the students really got to grips with the techniques that I had suggested and squeezed in a few of their own, which I always love to see. Experimentation and exploration are always encouraged in my workshops.
