Art Project Course Gallery No. 1 – The Theatre

Art Project course gallery No. 1

Art Project: The Theatre

Our new Art Project home study course started with a project inspired by the theatre. The project coincided with World Theatre Day on Friday 27 March – a time to celebrate theatre’s important role in entertaining and educating us and to consider its cultural legacy and important role in society – from fringe shows to slick West End musicals, ancient Greek tragedies to avant-garde art performances and much more.

Here’s a selection of artwork and prepatory studies made by some of the Art Project course artists taking part in the project.

Look out for another gallery of work coming soon…
