We are thrilled to announce that we are launching a programme of Contemporary Sculpture Courses for kids in Coventry & Warwickshire! This is kicking off with Adventures in Material & Space, a one-week courses at the Daimler Powerhouse in Coventry 12-16th August 10-4 pm.
This course will focus on creative thinking and technical skills development in sculpture. Adopting a sensorial approach, we will give the children freedom to be curious about the world around them. By igniting imagination and playfulness, we will encourage expression through sculpture and design. We will harness the children’s creativity by allowing freedom of thought in an enabling and conscious environment whilst they explore sculptural activities. We want to bring children together in an inclusive environment to explore their own creative potential and discover the possibilities of art and sculpture.
Led by Artist & Educator Lauren Cooke, this course is influenced by her experience and training in the Montessori pedagogy, with a focus on movement and sensorial stimuli.
Pack lunch to be provided by parents/guardians. One piece of fruit to be provided by parents/guardians for our shared snack.
COURSE CONTENT
Day 1, Sculpture and the Body —
We will delve into exploring materials in relation to the body, working with scale, shape, form, texture and volume to transform the bodies appearance and how we interact/perform.
Day 2, Scale and Structure — A focus on assemblage and constructing large scale sculptures.
Day 3, Light and Shade — Altering an area of the space using projection, we will play, problem solve and get creative using found objects and coloured acetate which will become an enlarged installation in the space.
Day 4, Material Transformations — Manipulating materials and objects to change their functionality in a playful and imaginative way, this will include covering objects in clay to alter the appearance and the way we might have to use it.
Day 5, Sculpture in Space — Focusing on urban mining we will reimagine and elevate single use materials to create and construct sustainable sculptures that will give the materials new life and connect us to the space.
