Hurvin Anderson Art Pod - The Hepworth Wakefield
Family Art Activity
A set of 3 family art activities in response to the exhibition- Hurvin Anderson: Salon Paintings
Date
May - October 2023
Role
Lead Artist - Development and creation of Art Pod activities.
I created family art activities for the Hepworth Wakefield's Hurvin Anderson exhibition, running from May to October 2023. These activities, housed in the Art Pod within the exhibition galleries, aimed to engage visitors of all ages with Anderson's works. The 3 activities were:
1. Magnetic Floor Collage: Visitors used digitally cut elements from Anderson's paintings, printed on magnetic sheets, to compose their own artwork on the gallery floor, reflecting Anderson's practice of reusing and re-composing imagery.
2. My Imaginary Self Portrait: Young visitors made self-portrait collages using salon-themed images like brushes and scissors, printed on peel-able sticker paper. This activity reflected Anderson's techniques of layering and tracing.
3. Posters on the Wall: Visitors created their own versions of Anderson's paintings using digitally cut imagery, printed on peel-able sticker paper and collaged.
