Curious Adventures in Nature
Venture from the Museum of Natural History to the University Parks where the sensory stimuli of sight, scent and sound provide a therapeutic space to explore the principles of visual art practice.
Multi-disciplinary contemporary artist Graham Fudger will explain how to use your smartphone camera to capture and manipulate exquisite images of nature that explore colour, texture and light.
The workshop will begin with a session in the Westwood Room (Museum of Natural History) where Graham will outline his approach to finding aesthetic value in nature. Participants will then be invited to explore the Parks at their leisure with a guide map, taking photos of their surroundings, with the options to learn how to use time-lapse and plant identifier apps. The workshop will conclude with a wrap-up session at the Museum.
The workshop is open to people of all ages. No technical experience required! Just make sure to bring along a fully-charged smartphone and sun protection.
The workshop is free, please book in advance.
