Croquis-drawing in Becoming Modern: Form, Colour and Movement
Join us for a croquis-drawing session in the Becoming Modern exhibition. Explore the shapes and movements of the human body through drawing – at the intersectiom of art, design and geometry.
Croquis is a drawing practice in which a subject is sketched in just a few minutes. The aim is not to create a perfect drawing, but to let go, capture the moment and experiment with line, form and expression.
Art-guide at Kunsten Stella Josefine Suhr will guide you through a series of drawing exercises of varying lengths. She will set creative challenges and inspire you to experiment with different styles and drawing techniques, all while the model takes up a series of poses.
This time, we’re moving into the world of concrete art, where works by artists including Richard Mortensen, Poul Gernes, Knud Nielsen and Gunnar Aagaard Andersen set the scene for the evening’s drawing sessions. Here, we encounter geometric shapes, bold colours and precise compositions. The furniture of the period will also serve as inspiration, featuring Arne Jacobsen and Verner Panton among others.
You don’t need any previous experience with croquis or particular drawing skills – just a willingness to be curious, experiment and see the world from a fresh perspective.
Before or after the session, you can enjoy a drink in Brasserie Kunsten, browse the selection of drawing materials in the museum shop, or explore the museum's other exhibitions.
End your evening in style at Brasserie Kunsten, and select from a menu inspired by the best seasonal ingredients. We recommend booking a table in advance.
