"Drawing from the Past: Celebrating Dorothy Mead and Edna Mann" – a special life drawing class led by artist Rachel Mercer (@rachelmercerartist

 Date: 28th March 2024

Time: 4pm - 6pm

Location: Borough Road Gallery, London South Bank University

As part of the current exhibition “The line is an unreal Thing: Dorothy Mead and Edna Mann”, this special life drawing class offers a great opportunity to connect with the artistic legacy of these two remarkable women.

Under Rachel's guidance, explore the art of life drawing using charcoal. With a mix of short and longer poses this class will explore the principles of life drawing. Exercises will help engage hand and eye and encourage sustained observation. We will be using charcoal to explore both line and tone and consider form and structure in the drawing.

No experience needed – all levels welcome!

Admission is free, but spots are limited. Contact gzd.altun@gmail.com to secure your place.

Don't miss this chance to draw inspiration from the past and celebrate Dorothy Mead and Edna Mann's artistic legacy!
