We are running a study visit to the Hepworth Wakefield Art Museum on Friday 12^th July from 10.30am. The study visit takes in the idea of drawing and form looking at the Barbara Hepworth graphic works and sculptures in the collection; also looking at the abstract language of William Scott which will be interesting for drawing, painting and printmaking students as well as sculpture students.  We will also look at Post-war British Sculpture and painting and finally at the Contemporary Artist Haroon Mirza who has a new installation that pushes the boundaries of our sense of colour, drawing and installation.
The Hepworth gallery is a stunning piece of architecture in its own right, tailor made for housing the Hepworth collection.  It is full of light and great views, well worth a visit.  Don’t forget it is on the East Coast North South line, so easy to get to from further north and from London too; so do consider coming even if it isn’t in your neck of the woods. For a place on this not to be missed study visit with contemporary sculptor and OCA tutor Doug Burton, please email enquiries@oca-uk.com as soon as you can.
