Myth and storytelling open the imaginative mind and we hope that the association of the model with well-chosen words will result in a more poetic way of drawing. Each week covers a different area of expression, with poses changing in length and variation. Storytelling in art allows us to cover a wide range of expressive forms of drawing and students are encouraged to experiment with elements of colour, such as watercolour or crayon, in their drawing. In addition to working from poems and short stories this term we will also spend two sessions working from film; using the director’s eye as a catalyst to release imaginative interpretations, including spoken word and music.
