Drawing workshop at Astor College
Nautical Threads
Tania Mccormack held a Nautical Threads drawing workshop at Astor College for the Arts on 25 February 2014.
“Our year 7 students enjoyed a wonderful drawing workshop last Tuesday with Tania McCormack. Students were inspired by the fun drawing and painting exercises, enjoying being challenged to think in new ways to create a personal response.
The artwork produced ranged from pencil drawings in response to a poem written by Corbyn Mathews Crow to large scale paintings inspired by the Bronze Age boat and Dover’s nautical threads.” (Kirsty Elliot, Astor College for the Arts)
