{ What's on this week }

FRAMING THE ELEPHANT
Monday 20 October
10am-6pm  at Typo Cafe, London College of Communication,
Elephant & Castle
A day of pop up drawing for people who draw and people who
don�t! Stop, look, and draw. We�re so busy that sometimes we
don�t look very carefully. Why not take 10 minutes or half
an hour to look, and do a little drawing. It might make you
see things differently. This is an opportunity to create
fast, fun drawings of the view from inside London College of
Communication. Student ambassadors will work with you to
select a view and draw what you see inside a removable frame
placed on the window in the Typo Cafe. Outside the college
there will be some unexpected items in the form of brightly
coloured, abstract shapes taken from famous paintings. Have
a wander around, find or alter a view, stick up your frame
and start drawing. Part of the Inside Out Festival
