Being Human Festival, Myth, Ritual & Mark Making: Illustration Workshop

Explore mark making in this historically themed illustration and printmaking workshop.

Mark marking, recording and interpretating is intrinsic to being human. With our academic staff you will explore mark making with imagery from iconic landmarks, mythical symbolism and dieties from Dr William Pawlett's research. You will create patterns, marks, layering and other worldly compositions to make your own mythic narratives and artistic 'take' on mythical landmarks.

Dr Willliam Pawlett is Senior Lecturer and Course Leader in the Dept of Media, Film and Broadcasting at the University of Wolverhampton.

This free event is suitable for all members of the public age 12 and over. Children 16 and under must be accomapnied by an adult. The subject of myth and how historically people create rituals of loss are covered as points of information and inspiration.

This event is part of Being Human Festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 7–16 November 2024. Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, with generous support from Research England, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy.
