Development Workshop: Creating Characters

We really enjoyed Frank Creber's recent mural development workshop with students from Stepney All Saints School at the Whitechapel Gallery. The session was focused on drawing bold forms that could then be developed into human figures. We started with abstract shapes and geometries, then moved on to sketching three volunteer models – seeking out shapes and angles in their form – before rounding off by creating drawings inspired by historical portraits. The students' focus and drawing skills were a joy to witness.
