El Anatsui (II) =P

Hello all, as some of you may have noticed, on Feb. 19, I visited the ROM with 1 classmate, and another from a year above me. At this "workshop" we learned more about El Anatsui, his ever- changing mediums, and we got a better feel for his works.

At the workshop, we had one segment focusing on the technical "artistry" of Anatsui's "Found and made anew" medium. We created our own sculptures, using found objects around Toronto. (mainly plastic) Although we only had 20mins to finish, I think it was quite worthwhile.

The second part of the workshop was a drama exercise, probably to squeeze the creative juices out our heads.

Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and I hope to do it again in May.
