Charade II and IV

29 January — 27 March 2010 *on now

Charade II is a collection of hand-made comics, created in watercolour, India ink and acrylic. It assembles familiar scenes from news coverage, removing them from their context as the artist’s response to media overload.
The second part of the exhibition, Charade IV, fuses the everyday with abstract, subtle and mythological creatures and events. Vienna-based artist Stecher reproduces iconic moments in our collective memory.
Supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum, London, and the Federal Ministry for Education Art and Culture, Vienna.

What's In A Building?

http://www.hertfordshirefilmconsortium.co.uk/content/downloads/Herts%20Education%20Leaflet%20A&G.pdf

A key characteristic of Modernist architecture was that 'form should follow function', in that a building's look should be determined by what it will be used for and what it is made from. Young people will be asked to take on the role of architect using a range of model making materials such as foam board, card and balsa wood to build their own architects' models of a building they have designed, having first considered what its use will be. Suitable for KS 1, 2 and 3 with advanced facilitators for KS 4 and A-Level students.

How to obtain

This workshop costs £6 per person. For more information and to book, contact Martin Russell on 01707 286513 or email m.russell@herts.ac.uk
