Self Portrait at the Age of 34
About
Lecturer Ed Dickenson and educator Joanna Conybeare explore Rembrandt's 'Self Portrait at the Age of 34', on display at the Brighton Museum & Art Gallery from 10 May as part of our National Treasures tour.
First, listen to a brief talk, then respond by making your own work in this short, artist-led drawing session. Please have to hand a sharp pencil, paper and a rubber.
The session will take place online and will last about one hour.
Sometimes we might suggest using different drawing or craft materials, so, if you are able to, please keep a pencil case of different colours, a ruler and a pair of scissors nearby, as well as anything else you might like to experiment with.
This session will be accompanied by live speech-to-text transcription supported by Stagetext.
Speakers
Ed Dickenson is a Gallery Educator who started his teaching career in Japan before teaching in primary schools across London for a number of years. He has since worked in learning teams for Kensington Palace, Ben Uri Gallery, and the Horniman Museum in London.
Joanna Conybeare is a Gallery Educator who has worked in Primary and Secondary schools in London and the south coast as a teacher and subject lead for Art and Design. In her own artistic practice, she used clay, porcelain and terracotta to explore the figure, enjoying the immediacy of the material that enables her to ‘draw’ three-dimensionally.
