Join Art History in Schools at Drawing Room to look at how artists throughout history have represented and explored migration across time, and then form your own artistic response.

Art and architecture have always played a crucial role in the expression of identity. Images such as Gericault’s charged nineteenth century painting The Raft of the Medusa, show how abuse of political power led to tragedy at sea, and was specifically created by him to campaign for the abolition of slavery. More recently Yinka Shonibare CBE’s contemporary adaptation of this very ship in his stunning sculpture La Méduse continues a dialogue on colonial and post-colonial imagery that affects us all. These issues continue to be relevant the world over as Marc Bauer’s index of migrant images created for Drawing Room's exhibition demonstrate:

"This new installation of drawings is an attempt to understand the relationship between images, to see what impact they have on our perception of reality, and how they condition our way of thinking and define our identities."

-Marc Bauer

How have these and other artists used formal qualities in their images to help us empathise with the figures depicted? And how do their narratives shape our understanding of class, ethnicity, nationality and gender?

Join us at Drawing Room London on Saturday 12th October 10am - 1.30pm with Dr Cleo Roberts to consider how artists and architects have represented and explored migration across time, and form your own artistic response.  Experiment with materials to create a 2-D or 3- D mixed-media artwork inspired by Drawing Room's exhibition Marc Bauer, Mal Ȇtre / Workshop. And explore different ways of working, from the representational to more abstract. 

This event is free. To book a place please email info@arthistoryinschools.org.uk

Modern Nature X Planet Art

Art History and Art Workshop

Nature has always been a source of inspiration for artists. From Durer's robust etchings of rhinos with livid scales to Ai Wei Wei's millions of ceramic sunflower seeds laid out across Tate's Turbine Hall, the natural world has been vital in shaping the world's art and architecture. 

But what is 'Modern Nature' and why are we perpetually fascinated by plants and animals? And does our current treatment of the planet match this ideal?

Join us at Drawing Room London on Saturday 8th June to look at the how artists throughout history have approached the motifs, messages and materials of nature and then form your own artistic response! 

Experiment with materials to create a 2-D or 3- D mixed-media artwork inspired by the Drawing Room's show. Get introduced to different ways of working, from representational to more abstract and then, taking Victor Timofeev’s theme of Future Fictions and imagined landscapes, make your own art work that is a response to our environmental crisis.

Book your place via info@arthistoryinschools.org.uk

Guest Curator, Professor Richard Thomson from the University of Edinburgh School of Fine Art will discuss highlights of the 'Monet & Architecture' exhibition.

"The story of women at the Architectural Association is at once a history of women’s presence within a very particular educational institution, a history of women’s presence within the architectural profession and a part of the history of twentieth-century architecture in both Britain and the wider world. The exhibition explores this story and begins with ‘1917’ – a section that focuses on women’s admittance, the first students, their training and early work, and continues with a series of displays that set contemporary and historic examples side by side."
