workshop: building bodies

Suitable for: children, families, and mixed-age groups.

This workshop blends observation, sculpture, and drawing with playful, imaginative making. Participants will visit the exhibition space to explore the contribution to sensorial by the Inspired by Art class. Working together, construct a soft, sculptural figure using the body part cushions; this temporary body form will become the subject of an observational drawing.

Back in the art room, participants will create their own imaginative bodies from individual parts with line, rubbings, and collage. The final works will be cut out and assembled using push pins and may be displayed in a public space or taken home.

Through this hands-on experience, you’ll develop close looking skills and visual analysis, practice observational drawing techniques, explore body-based themes through tactile assembly, and learn mixed-media collage methods—all while bringing your own unique, imaginative body design to life.
