SHOWZINE WORKSHOPS
Young people from eight schools across London have been invited to work with RCA students to create Showzine, an online response to the ShowRCA.
Each group will visit a section of the Show and record their experiences through drawing, writing, film and interviews. These will be posted on this site to form an alternative online catalogue to the Show. Through the Showzine we’ll discover what has caught young visitors’ attention, their hot tips for the RCA graduates to watch, and their critical, emotional and imaginative responses to the work on display.
We hope Showzine will be a resource for other schools, teachers and young people, introducing them to the Show, the RCA and possibilities in study and work in the creative industries.
SHOWZINE WORKSHOP LEADERS
Your Showzine workshop will be led by students from the RCA Communication Art & Design department. They will guide your visit to the Show and encourage you to respond to what you encounter in a variety of ways. They will be able to tell you how they became an artist or designer and about the choices they made to achieve their goals. They will want you to ask them questions and get involved in lots of activities.
Owain Thomas
I am an illustrator who works mainly with paint and my personal work deals with narratives involving very real subjects. I enjoy painting existing narratives as well as creating and illustrating my own stories and characters. My work tries to explore the relationship between fiction and reality and the confusion that occurs when they become fused together.
Dan Brackenbury
I am interested in exploring whether it is possible to be a filmmaker outside the medium of film. Most of my work attempts to create filmic atmospheres and compositions using still photography. Recently I have been applying this approach to illustration briefs and working with existing narratives. I am mainly influenced by auteur film directors like Alfred Hitchcock and theatrical photographers such as Gregory Crewdson.
