walk.draw (Dover’s Hill)

walk.draw (Dover’s Hill)

We’ll start on the top of Dover’s Hill then walk and draw our way into the landscape, following a series of guided drawing exercises and prompts. Dover’s Hill is above Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds, with great views over the Vale of Evesham. On a clear day you can see to the Malverns and Black Mountains.

Moving at a relaxed pace in a friendly atmosphere, we’ll take a creative and experimental approach to finding inspiration in our surroundings. With a panoramic view from the top of the hill, we’ll zoom out to the view and into the details, as well as responding to serendipitous encounters along the way.

This walk.draw event is led by artist and tutor, Ruth Broadbent. It is inspired by Ruth’s walks during a recent exhibition of her work in Chipping Campden. The exhibition featured thirty-nine of her drawings from A Line Across England, when she cycled ancient tracks across England, from Norfolk to Weymouth.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
