The Hay Wain
About
Lecturer Isaac Nugent and artist educator Bethan Durie explore John Constable's 'The Hay Wain', featured in our exhibition 'Discover Constable and The Hay Wain'.
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.
