Bruntcliffe residency – digital drawing

I’ve just added my video of the work I did with students at Bruntcliffe School, Leeds to my artwork and education pages. We worked with the various ways to use digital projection technology to improve drawing skills, especially observational drawing of difficult subjects – like the human form in movement. The students grew in confidence as they became familiar with the methods. Engaged and focused, they completed a large body of work each over just three days.

BUSNOYS – with special guest visual artist MARIA HAYES
Busnoys is the trio formed by vibes player Martin Pyne to showcase his jazz compositions. As well as his work in jazz he has had much of his music for contemporary dance performed at major London venues. Drummer Trevor Davies’ reputation keeps growing. His services have recently been enjoyed by the likes of Iain Ballamy, Byron Wallen, and Anita Wardell. Bass guitar virtuoso Jeff Spencer completes the line up of a band who draw on rock, country, electronica and the avant-garde as well as straight ahead jazz. Tonight they are joined by innovative artist Maria Hayes who will be creating new work as the music unfolds.
