Join a creative drawing workshop filled with instruments, shapes and sound, together with artist David Stenmarck at Serieteket, Deichman Grünerløkka!
About the course:
What could an instrument look like if it didn't have to follow any rules? In this workshop, we start by drawing real instruments in the room. Participants get to try different drawing exercises, before using the drawings as a starting point to create their very own fantasy instrument! Maybe it will be a trumpet animal, a guitar with legs, or an instrument no one has seen or heard before? The tasks and guidance are adapted to the age group participating. Here it's about experimenting, playing and discovering new ideas through drawing. Everyone takes home the drawings of the fantasy instrument they have made!
