| The art of...archaeological illustration at Museum of London
Celebrate the Festival of British Archaeology with a course! This series of one day workshops is lead by Museum of London illustration specialist, Sandra Rowntree, and will appeal to both newcomers and specialists alike. This is an opportunity for participants to practise their drawing skills within a supportive environment and to learn about the equipment needed and the conventions used in the illustration of archaeological objects, including scaled drawings and drawing for publications. The small class size means that participants will be able to interact freely with both the tutor and fellow students to generate an exchange of ideas and maximise learning.
All materials are provided, but feel free to bring along your own pens if your have them. You will be given a booklet covering the content of the course and a booklist to take home with you, as well as receiving a certificate of attendance.
Each day focuses on a different type of archaeological find: medieval tiles (July 31); bronze (August 14); flint tools (4 Sept). Mornings will start with an introduction and demonstration by Sandra, followed by a drawing workshop, and afternoons will be spent learning about side views, sections and inking in.
You can enrol for one day only, or for the entire course.
A trained artist, archaeologist and teacher, Sandra has worked at Museum of London Archaeology as a Senior Illustrator for over five years. She started her career at English Heritage and since then has taught archaeological illustration to adults for Newcastle and Cambridge Universities' extra-mural departments, as well as working in Africa and Europe on excavations, working full-time and gaining her Certificate of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
