Giotto: A Practical Workshop

Traffic jams, lack of parking spaces, numbers of students and all the havoc of a typical Maltese Wednesday. I had to face all this, this morning since I decided to attend a practical workshop on Giotto by Graham Woodall at the University of Malta Campus. A small audience was present in a room, that exact room in which I was awarded my Masters Degree! I guess it was a nice feeling! Soon after, artist Graham Woodall entered the room, introduced himself and set the ball rolling. The practical workshop turned out to be a masterpiece. The session was mainly divided in two. The first half was dedicated to Giotto, a short biography which was exquisitely interpreted by the Graham Woodall. The second part was centred on a practical workshop having all the audience involved in an exercise where everyone was invited to produce his mosaic out of bits of coloured paper. It all ended to be a tapestry of colour which portrayed Giotto's 'Betrayal of Christ' found at the Arena chapel in Padua. This exercise turned out to be a stunning exercise which helped us to understand and apprehend Giotto's genius and also served to portray 'Art' as an open invitation to a wider audience.

Graham Woodall: 

Graham Woodall has worked as a teacher and artist for over 30 years. Over the past few years, he has worked full time as an artist. He regularly acts as an artist-in-residence for local art centres, museums, hospitals and schools.
