My Dog Sighs Workshop

In the Free Art Friday workshop I created a ship out of a discarded pamphlet and a leaf. The leaf is the mast whilst the Pamphlet is the ship. The screws were used to create mechanical legs and added a mechanical feel to it.

My Dog Sighs Workshop

My Dog Sighs - Lost and Found workshop

My take on a ship in a bottle for the lost and found workshop using an empty canister from a cream dispenser I found outside.

Free Art Fridays

From our workshop with My Dog Sighs I created a pop art influenced piece using a nos canister and a piece of rubble found on the floor.

Lost and Found Workshop

This is Freddie, created through a workshop with My Dog Sighs.  Made using string, ink and charcoal, was Freddie murdered or did he commit suicide?  I guess we will never know as he disappeared from where he was hung...

Lost and Found with MyDogSighs

Upcycler, recycling artist, street artist and can-man MyDogSighs worked with us today to help clear the streets around Winston Churchill Avenue and encouraged the students to create artwork from discarded items. Intrinsic to the workshop is the idea that the item is found - transformed and then left in-situ for anyone who wants to keep it.

In the spirit of Free Art Friday the students explored the techniques and concepts MyDogSighs employs and responded individually to the item they had found. These might be worth looking out for around the Eldon Building over the next day of two.

Mechanical Animals

Tasked with creating an illustration of an animal using at least 50% mechanical imagery (cogs, wheels, springs etc.) the students produced some great work this afternoon.
