The start days 1 and 2

 This week I have started a course at CityLit London that's about Art and Design, the course runs for an academic year and is 3 days per week. CityLit is an institution that offers many opportunities for adult learning one of the big assets is the teaching which is conducted by people who have a real life history in the topics they teach in - I started the part 1 of the course pre pandemic and here is a link to a post from early 2020 On this website I will reflect on the learning and experience, what approaches were taken, feedback from the group  and the way I felt about various aspects of the topic. Monday  13th September 2021. The first session was Textiles and we looked at  a presentation on  Textiles and some of the artists working in this area - funnily enough I had visited a local Arts Trail at the weekend and seen and discussed with a participating artist a textile approach using a recycling perspective  as the raw material (sort of if I can see raw for recycled) the artist

Hokusai and Bamboo

 On Wednesday I met a friend to take a look around British Museum's, it's called  The Great Picture Book of Everything  - which could be over playing it a bit but it does seem that in the Japan of his time he was pretty one of the go-to-guys for illustrating books There's a lot of stuff that I got from the exhibition including that not having seen various things in the flesh does not rule out making illustrations (various animals). The exhibition is of material held by the British Museum and chronologically visitors can see the work of the artist developing.  Of course much as Mona Lisa dictates a certain link with Leonardo Da Vinci so 'The Great Wave is forever Hokusai - There are quite a number of prints from the blocks of the famous woodcuts The British Museum has 3 of them and the vintage of them can be seen by the quality of the print (older ones have bits missing) Craft Week  After Design week it' time for the Artisans and London had a week of craft kicking of
