The aim of this course is to generate ideas. All you need is a sketchbook, drawing materials, inks, brushes and an open mind. Each week is themed and comprises a set of tasks. The tasks are between 15 and 25 minutes in length. The variety of tasks are designed to engage and encourage you the participants to see the potential in all ideas from the whimsical to the profound. In the final weeks we devise hybrid ideas of originality by merging any number of compelling images produced in the sketchbook.
About the artist-tutor
London based Artist Guy Allott was born in the market town of HexhamNorthumberland in 1972, a graduate of Central Saint Martins (1999) and the Royal College of Art (2002), Guy is a versatile artist who works across several disciplines from painting to printmaking to sculpture and woodcuts. As a young painter and sculptor Guy made playful cardboard maquettes of spaceships and paintings of surrealistic landscapes,
sometimes combining the two in painted depictions of what he called Landscape Spaceships¹. By 2009 Guy work was exploring and subverting traditional representations of landscape in relation to man’s desire to explore and control nature²; his paintings and sculptures present a fantastical merging of the philosophies of science and culture, offering a critique of historic social beliefs alongside an investigation into the contemporary³.
Today Guy’s work appears in private and public collections in Europe, The United States and Asia including the Victoria & Albert Museum, The Royal Society, The British Library Collection, Fidelity and the UBS Art Collection.
Guy is the recipient of the First Base Award from ACAVA (2003) and is one of the founders of IntoArts a charity that teaches painting and the arts to students with learning disabilities.
