Monsters, Myths & Metaphors - Benedict Brain ARPS
Event info
Only one place left.
Four weekly sessions limited to 10 places - book early to guarantee a place (live workshop sessions using Zoom).
In this virtual ‘hands-on’ workshop we will work over four weekly sessions to create a small and meaningful body of work. We will explore ideas around story-telling, narrative, adding layers of meaning and ultimately how to express yourself through the language, art and craft of photography.
Through a mixture of jargon-free presentations, fun practical sessions, exercises and lively group discussions you will be guided through a range of image-making concepts, techniques and approaches. More importantly, you will learn some the creative tools, processes and methodologies to take with you on your creative journey beyond the workshop.
If you feel frustrated that your image-making isn’t quite fulfilling your need to express yourself, or you just want to challenge yourself to new ideas and approaches or simply to stimulate your creative juices then this short course is an ideal springboard.
Week one: Tuesday 08 June 2021
Week two: Tuesday 15 June
Week three: Tuesday 22 June
Week four: Tuesday 29 June
Time for each session: 10:00 – 12:00 BST
