Workshop for Emirates from Tashkeel

Tashkeel is pleased to offer a workshop for Emirates entitled; Look Up - Chasing the Light, which will run on 5 March 2023. It invites everyone to join the celebrated fine artist Mike Arnold to discover a new way to view, enjoy and capture the wonder of Dubai’s architectural landscape just by ‘looking up’. You will learn how to explore the ‘seeing light and dark’ creative process, which helps artists capture the magic of color and movement of dancing sunlight on the tops and between the city's unique structures. Bring your imagination and a willingness to change the way you ‘see’. Open to the public but seating is limited.

Program Schedule:

• Date: 5 March 2023
• Time:  4 - 5:30 pm

About Trainer:

The first 40 years of Mike Arnold's career were spent as a professional architect. His finely tuned drawing skills prepared him for a second career as a full-time artist. Today, Mike fuses his knowledge of built structures and his ability to almost see through the exterior to the inner forms with an artistic perspective. His practice extends across oil on canvas, glass and paper as well as mono prints. There is no overriding theme to his work other than a life-long passion for light. His attempt to chase and capture light is what marries all his work and within that search, Arnold attempts to convey emotion to his viewers. Mike Arnold is a member of Tashkeel.
