Workshop with Robert Perry at Outline

A couple of days after the seminar Robert Perry RBSA came into college to run a day-long workshop with a selected group of art and design students from courses across the art and design department. After the Outline seminar with Robert it became apparent that students wanted to find out more about the great variety of processes and techniques Robert uses in his work. Therefore the workshop with Robert was highly anticipated by our students, as it gave the students the chance to learn from Robert's great wealth of experience as a fine artist and historian.

After Robert presented his work that he had done at several World War sites across Europe during his Outline seminar, the students used images, newspaper clippings, battle maps and war poetry as inspiration for their own artwork.

Many thanks to Robert Perry RBSA, who gave up his time to come in and share his extensive knowledge as a travelling artist with the students. Further images of the student's work can be seen in the next post.

This post is showcasing the fantastic work that was produced in the day-long workshop with Robert Perry RBSA. 

In the afternoon we also welcomed a small group of students from BMAPA, which is the performing arts department of the college. The BMAPA students are currently rehearsing for the play "Oh, What a Lovely War" by Charles Chilton, which will shortly be performed by the students at the Old Joint Stock in Birmingham. Upon seeing the work that was produced during the workshop with Robert, the performing arts students express their interest to feature some of the work that was produced as part of  their performance.
