This January, artist Guy Schofield is hosting a series of free digital making workshops for 12-16 year olds about generative art!

| Artist Guy Schofield working with young participants at the Digital Arts Workshops |
The workshops are inspired by Richmal Mangnall and her work.
Richmal Mangnall was the head of Crofton House school from 1808-1820. She wrote educational books which used simple questions and answers as a way of teaching young people about the world.
The workshops are exploring how question and answer systems are used in modern technology, including games and digital art.

Using software including Processing and Unity, young people will learn programming and game design skills for making amazing digital artworks. They will explore generative art: images created by rules you program yourself.
No experience in programming is required to take part and each workshop will be different. You can attend one workshop, several or all of them.
The final works will be included in an exhibition at Wakefield One in January 2023.
Some great work has already been produced at the first two workshops and we can't wait to see what our young people do next!
