Tate Liverpool is the home of the national collection of modern and contemporary art in the North of England. Join artist Paul Gatenby as he leads a study day at Tate Liverpool, exploring drawing through DLA Piper Series: Constellations, a display of the national collection. Â Featuring more than 100 works including Cezanne, Picasso, Renoir and Hockney, this collection display is rich with inspiration for all students of art.Â
Artists draw for many reasons; to learn to see, to record, to plan, be inspired, and of course for sheer enjoyment.  This day course is about drawing from art and the approach is twofold; firstly, using drawing as a means of understanding artworks in the Tate displays, and secondly, reinterpreting artworks; finding your own creative response to works in the galleries. Students will analyse drawing processes and techniques, experiment with drawing as a creative medium, and be guided to produce work inspired by artists in the collection display.Â
Please bring sketchbooks and pencils. Â Other materials are provided.
Programmed in association with Continuing Education Centre for Lifelong Learning, University of Liverpool.Â
