Feed seminar at Outline with Robert Perry

OUTLINE proudly presents Robert Perry. On Tuesday 1st May, between 5.30pm and 7.30pm, the international renowned landscape painter Robert Perry will present a selection of his work at Outline. Robert Perry has exhibited his work in shows across Europe and his work features in the permanent collection of the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. During the seminar Robert will present and discuss a series of work that he produced during trips to First World War sites, the seminar will be concluded with a question and answer session. Afterwards you are invited to join us for a talk and drinks with the artist.
“Robert Perry is one of the most original landscape painters of his generation, his work deeply rooted in the tradition of observation and direct response to nature. His mobile studio enables him to undertake prolonged campaigns of drawing and painting on site during his expeditions to Europe. His expressive images from the Somme, Verdun, Oradour and Auschwitz are a triumph of sustained observation as he looks with an unblinking eye at humanity’s capacity for hatred and destruction.”
Brendan Flynn, Curator of Fine Art, BM&AG

Screenprinting workshop & interview evening


On the last Thursday of the term prospective students and their families came to Outline to take part in a screen printing workshop and to be interviewed for art and design courses starting in September 2012. While the screen printing workshop was going on individual students presented themselves and their work to members of staff that where on hand to interview the next generation of art & design students. Youngest member of the screen printing workshop was 6-year old Lewis, who produced some beautiful outcomes with the help of his father.
The evening was a great success, the workshop was buzzing and the interviewees left with some original artwork. Fantastic work!!! Who would have thought that interviews can be so much fun!
