15/04 Drawing Satire: online workshop
15 April 2021 19:00 till 20:30 - By: Communication | Add to my calendar
Sometimes you see something in the news that makes you think: ‘Ah, come on!’. What do you do? Type a tirade on Twitter? Write an epically long post on Facebook? Nothing? All great possibilities, but best would be to be able to shape it in to a satiric and humoristic form. That form can be anything: a photo with an ironic statement, a drawing, a short poem that seems cute but has some real ‘sharp teeth’.
In this workshop, Thomas Beijer will enlighten you about the history and background of satire and he will show and teach you how he proceeds when a news item makes him “facepalm” again.
Thomas is renown concert pianist and composer, but has a nag for satire, writing poems, drawing, and creating short movies where he interacts with his drawn creatures. His first novel ‘Geen Jalapenos’ was published by Prometheus in 2017 and a new bundle of essays will be published by the end of this year.

How an everyday item turns into a piece of art – The Election Pencil
Sustainable, fully green energy recycled red pencil, regrown using 3D printing technology for plant cell tissue engineering that forms the external artificial wood hexagonal holder, containing a cylinder engineered from nano (self-) assembled graphene reinforced molten salts that incorporates the rare earth elements scandium and yttrium, the last one being responsible for the red color, which once composed part of the iPhone I Steve Jobs used in his very first presentation of that product in the memorable live conference at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, Jan. 9, 2007, when he pronounced the historical phrase: “One more thing. An iPod, a phone and an internet connector”.
