Bow Families: collective doodling with Jasmin Bhanji
Sunday 24th September 2023 , 11:00am to 1:00pm
Come along and join artist and arts educator Jasmin Bhanji for a huge group doodle, playfully encouraging and exploring what we can make when we freely doodle, draw, and create on a large-scale together.
Equipped with a range of fun drawing, doodling, and mark-making materials, Jasmin will encourage children to respond to whimsical and surreal prompts and props designed to encourage creativity, imagination, and experimentation with this more expanded form of drawing.
In this workshop, children will learn different drawing and mark-making techniques, group work, collaboration, and how to create artworks in response to things they see and touch.
This event is an inclusive, friendly environment which is accessible to all abilities and age groups. This activity is ideal for ages 3-9, but we encourage anyone interested to attend.
Bow Families is a series of free, drop-in family art workshops that take place on the last Sunday of every month in the Bow Arts Courtyard. These sessions are a wonderful opportunity for local families to get creative and try something new! Each session is led by a Bow Arts’ Artist and all materials are provided.
More about Jasmin Bhanji
Jasmin works across different stages of learning, from nursery to adult education. She works with families and young children, providing workshops that explore elements of contemporary art practice in fun, meaningful and engaging ways. Jasmin also works with teachers in CPD session for curriculum diversity training and primary art skills development. Her workshops focus on contemporary art practice and her knowledge base is an MA (UCL) in Art and Design (now Art Education, Culture and Practice) and a PGCE, and a BA in Ceramics.
“Art practice can be seen as a means of ‘making sense’ and ‘making space.’ In my role, I strive to create a safe and open space for diverse learning communities to explore new ways of thinking, making sense of their world, and discovering new ways of being. I firmly believe that art has the power to foster inclusivity, social engagement, and dialogue”
