ART
HENRY MOORE AT KEW GARDENS
The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is hosting a landmark
exhibition of monumental works by the internationally acclaimed sculptor
Henry Moore until 30 March. 28 large-scale sculptures are exhibited throughout
Kew’s
unique 300 acre World Heritage Site landscape, making this the first exhibition
of its kind ever to be held in London.
To celebrate this major exhibition, we have designed a range of dynamic courses in collaboration with Richmond Adult and Community College (RACC).
Through specialist tuition, you will be learning and exploring the same approaches that Moore developed in the creation of maquettes and drawings for his sculptures.
Your course will begin at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, where you will experience the splendour of Moore’s monumental work set against a variety of striking backdrops. From the formal gardens and great glasshouses to the spectacular arboretum you will be witnessing the sculptures in a landscape that will change throughout the seasons.
Drawing inspiration from both Moore’s sculpture and the abundance of natural forms and organic shapes at Kew, once back in the studios at Richmond Adult and Community College, you will translate your sketches or photographs and inspiration into your chosen medium.
“In my opinion, everything, every shape, every bit of natural form,animals, people, pebbles, shells, anything you like are all things that can help you to make a sculpture.”
