The Drawing Project
12 February to 07 March
About The Drawing Project
The Drawing Project is a collaborative work involving sixteen artists and two paintings from the Ashmolean Museum: The Forest Fire by Piero di Cosimo and The Exposition of Moses by Nicholas Poussin. The aim was to produce drawings that worked collectively as well as individually.
The artists produced drawings which were then assembled to become full-scale representations of the original paintings. The four assembled collaborative representations are made of fifteen individually drawn sections. Each artist produced their drawings to scale using a variety of drawing and painting media, with some also working in collage.
During eight months, over sixty individual project drawings were produced and then assembled into four large drawings representing the original paintings.
The finished assembled works are 1:1 representations of the original paintings; two in colour and two in black and white. Some of the artists have also produced additional work referencing the original paintings.
At the Ashmolean Museum, there’s a wonderful opportunity for both families and adults to attend a workshop inspired by the exhibition. Please see below for the dates.
