The Leipzig graphics and book art high school (HGB Leipzig – Hohschule fur Grafik und Buchkunst) lecturer, draftsman, graphic designer, illustrator Christoph Feist had a lecture and workshop on drawing/illustration and self-publish magazine „Cargo“ on October 24-28th, 2016 at the Klaipeda faculty of Vilnius Academy of Arts. The workshop was targeted for students from Lithuania and other Baltic states in collaboration with CIRRUS - a Nordic-Baltic network of Art and Design education.
The ISO container has become a symbol of the global trade. He has become a familiar sight at the edges of the inhabited areas in all countries of the world. During this hands-on workshop we will investigate where containers are in and around Klaipeda and what stories do they tell us. How can we convey these stories with drawing/illustration. Each participant will design a poster and a double page for a self-published magazine.
The workshop consists of joint lectures and visits as well as of group work with final presentations. All participants will be briefly introduced to the history of Klaipeda and will put hands on self-drawing, iliustration, self-published magazine making process.
The short, intensive format of these courses allows students to immerse themselves in the creative life of Klaipeda and collaborate with Klaipeda faculty students while building a network of contacts from around the world.
