If you, like me, are always wishing you did something a little
more cultured on Friday night, as opposed to over-priced drinks and facing
national rail a few wines down on the way home, then Friday night’s Late Shift
at the National Portrait Gallery might be right up your street.
Taking place every Friday night, the drop-in drawing
sessions encourage you to get creative and practice those art skills you
might have forgotten since GSCE. Each session is led by a professional artist
and all materials are provided for you, so no carrying a pad of paper and
pencils around all day.
Last week’s session focused on how we relate to faces. The
task was to pick a face in the gallery and change one facial feature each time
you drew it. It was amazing to see how one different feature can change a
whole face, and how we associate archetypal personalities with different faces.
This prompted the question; does the way we, and others, relate to our faces
change how they interact with us and then change how we ourselves act?
Late Shift at the NPG holds a variety of different events on
other nights of the week, including live DJ sets, philosophical debates, and
special events such as poetry reading and film screenings.
You can check out what else the Late Shift has to offer here.
