On the Horizon: An Escape into Landscape Code W24 Years 7-11
This exciting day at Tate Britain will explore landscapes, cityscapes and seascapes. Using works by the artists J. W. M. Turner and John Constable, you’ll explore the nature of landscape. How did these artists paint the weather, seasons and create idyllic landscapes, especially in the romantic era of painting? Why did Constable continually address the theme of man versus nature and science versus God (creation). We’ll also look at contemporary cityscapes and how some artists use photography to address the same themes as Constable did 250 years earlier. Recording some of these techniques in your sketchbooks, you will create a cityscape en plein air alongside the Thames, weather permitting. Bring an A4 sketchbook.
Students will work in small groups, so places will be strictly limited and dealt with on a first come, first served basis. Bring a packed lunch and normal writing equipment. Any special medical information should accompany the application slip on a separate sheet. The cost is £33.00 per student for each day.
SPONSORSHIP (including assistance with travel costs)is available to those in financial hardship. Please contact Gabbitas Tomorrow’s Achievers (Patricia Morse 0207 734 0161) or The Potential Trust (Anna Comino-James 01844 351666) for more details.
