Degas, dance and movement

To answer the numerous queries about the workshops at Christmas...... This is what has been in preparation!

Dance, movement and the world of Ballet is the focus of the last workshop of the year. Join us for an exploration of movement around the magical exhibition of Degas and Dance at the Royal Academy of Arts.

I hope you will find the program interesting! The exhibition is wonderful, and I am very excited about sharing my passion for Dance with my young students.

During these 3 days you will learn to gather informations, sketch and build a sketch book that will help expand your drawing skills and familiarise you with human anatomy. You will use pencils, graphite, markers, biros, dry pastels and paint to express movement and shapes.

…. You will experiment with various ways of mark making alongside the more traditional methods of sketching, drawing and painting.
