Education from OutlineEducation - Artists' Forum, Art Classes and WorkshopsHome > Articles > Education from OutlineWorking without support, an artist may easily become unfocussed. Having the opportunity for discussion and feedback from other artists and interested people can be of great benefit. Artists are invited to bring works for discussion to the Tatham Art Gallery. The forum provides a place to overcome the isolation in which artists normally work. The focus is on a discussion of content and techniques, led by education staff and experts from other fields. The emphasis is on a discussion of the content in artworks and the appropriate techniques for expressing these.The Artists' Forum has been very popular. A number of regular Forum goers have participated in Challenging Jabulisa. Other artists such as Penny Waller and Corina Lemmer used the Forums to finalise their works for exhibitions at the Gallery. Due to demand we will now also have and Artists' Forum on a Saturday, though not as regularly as the Wednesday meetings.Isigungu samacikoUkusebenza ngalodwana kweciko kulenza lilahlekelwe ugqozi nentshisekelo yokuqhubekela phambili ngelikwenzayo.Ukuba nendawo lapho lingahlanganyela khona libonisane namanye amaciko lizwe novo lwabanye abantu abanogqozi nolwazi ngemisebenzi yobuciko kungaliphumelelisa.

Ungaphuthelwa.Workshops with Homeless ChildrenThe Tatham Art Gallery's Outreach section is running a pilot project with 10 homeless youngsters. The participants, who are in their late teens, are brought to the Tatham on Tuesdays by Youth for Christ caregivers, Londiwe and Sthembiso. As the children live and sleep on the streets in the same area downtown, they are treated as a cohesive group.In the creative workshops, where a meal and games form part of the programme, Phumzile and Kobie are leading the children to use easily available materials, such as found objects, to make new creations. In one of the first workshops they made small clay animals and then went out in groups into the Tatham grounds to look for embellishments such as seeds, strings, feathers and plastic tags. One artist unknowingly copied an age-old San painting practice when he used white bird droppings for his Nguni cow's spots.Initially the emphasis will be on personal development of the individuals, but we hope to display some of their work during the Gallery's Christmas Sale in the beginning of December.Sisebenzisana nezingane ezihlala emgwaqweniI-Tatham Art Gallery isungule umkhankaso wokusebenzisana nezingane ezihlala emgwaqweni edolobheni.Lomkhankaso wenziwa ngokubambisana noLondiwe beno Sithembiso, be Youth for Christ okungababheki balezingane.Loluhlelo lwenziwa njalo ngoLwesibili.
