Currently running at the Durban Art Gallery
until January 24 is Inkunz’emanxeba: The
Legacy continues.. which might well serve as a living testament of history
in the making during this generation.
This Exhibition
Educational Program will offer a One Day Workshop on January 15 from 10h00 to
16h00. Aspiring artists will have the opportunity to spend the morning
exploring artworks on show and acquiring information on featured artists. In
the afternoon the participants will respond to the work using mixed media. They
will learn basic drawing principles and painting techniques, they’ll also learn
about composition, colour and personal expression whilst experimenting with
various materials and techniques. This programme aims to produce tools to
foster visual literacy and hopes to encourage artistic expression.

will be of great benefit and interest to artists, students, gallerists, art
historians, curators, museum directors, publishers, and collectors:
