RHA Kids Workshop
Magnetic Story Cubes Sculpture Workshop
with artist Anishta Chooramun
Ages 8 – 12
2pm – 4.30pm, Saturday 12th October
In this workshop, children will learn to make their own personal story cube through drawing and origami. After working individually, children will bring their blocks together to build a sculptural composition. Children will develop stories as a group. By making simple changes to the building structure, the group will explore open-ended story possibilities. Children will engage in creative thinking, team-work, problem solving, and material exploration, and learn skills including origami folding, building, sculpting, engineering, and storytelling.
Anishta Chooramun, born in Mauritius, currently lives, works and studies in Dublin. A recent graduate from IADT Dún Laoghaire with a BA (Hons) in Art, Chooramun is currently completing a MA in Art Research and collaboration (ARC). Chooramun is the 2018/19 recipient of the RHA Graduate Studio Award. Chooramun’s work is informed by the diverse components that create our society, looking at society as a jigsaw puzzle, and how people co-exist and how one completes the other.
