See an Artist - Be an Artist
Published: 21 July 2009
As well as exploring Tower Bridge and its history, visitors to
the exhibition will enjoy a special opportunity to explore the
famous view.
Draw What You See workshops will invite children of all
ages to capture and exhibit their on-the-spot impressions of the
stunning panorama from the Walkways, which includes such iconic
subjects as the Tower of London, the Monument and St Paul’s.
Each picture created in the workshops will be scanned and
uploaded immediately onto
www.towerbridgefacts.co.uk
for the whole world to see.
The workshops will be conducted by ‘Artists in Residence’ Carlos
Calvert-Ortin and Nicola Taylor, and produced for Tower Bridge
Experience by the Southwark-based Guy Fox Limited.
Carlos Calvert-Ortin will be in residence between 11am and 3pm
from Wednesdays to Sundays, to conduct the drop-in workshops and
allow visitors to watch him create his own, highly-stylised black
and white landscapes inspired by the view.
