14 March 2021

Free online Zoom live event on Sunday 14th March 4pm-6pm GMT.

Art workshops that explore sketching and creating artworks whilst responding to the WWF creative call-out to reimagine our future.

Taking inspiration from David Attenborough's film "A life on our planet", Editartz and One Planet Conservation Awareness are calling artists from all over the world to create illustrations and artworks that raise awareness about the options to solve the current climate crisis and show that a better future is possible.

All you need is to watch David Attenborough's film in advance of the workshop.

Workshop details

Workshop 1 - by Irene Silvino, Brenda Harris and OPCA - "Sketch from the film" workshop. Join us and take inspiration from a few still frames about the main solutions to the climate crisis. OPCA will introduce the topics while you can experiment and draw using your own style and media (it can be traditional, simple pencil & paper or digital). Tag us in your posts, join the conversation and share your art within the Editartz community.

Workshop 2 - by Priyanka from The Rubbish Artist. Priyanka, whose creative name is Buchu, is an artist from the Editartz community and creates artworks from waste materials: http://therubbishartist.com. She will show how to make something from nothing! A simple but effective way to create some really fun, vibrant art inspired by the film - using nothing more than paper packaging from everyday life.

Workshop 3 - by Emily Claire Voelker. Emily is an Editartz artist and activist, and works with traditional media: https://www.emilyclairevoelker.com. She will show how to create bright, positive & enthusiastic posters that inspire people to create change! We will hand-letter a simple yet striking message of change inspired by David Attenborough, surrounded by icons, symbols and little pictures that underline the written words, while also making it "pop" and stand out!
