Join artist Fai McCabe as she talks to KS2/3 pupils about her work and leads us in an activity based on pixel art, showing the mathematical elements of her work.
Fai is a multidisciplinary artist and curator based in Liverpool, UK whose work centres on the Rubik’s Cube. Through the manual manipulation of hundreds of Rubik’s cubes, Fai creates intricate, vibrant designs. Her first Rubik’s Cube piece was made with 300 full size cubes and was of John Lennon. Fai has since created images of iconic people, buildings and art including Taylor Swift, Jurgen Klopp, the Liver Buildings and the Mona Lisa.
In this session, Fai will share examples of her work, talk about how she uses maths and lead us in an interactive creative activity where pupils are encouraged to create their own artwork.
Following the session pupils will be asked to complete their artwork and schools can submit their designs to a competition where one lucky winner will have the opportunity to have Fai recreate their design in actual Rubik’s Cubes.
Thank you to Merseyrail for their support which has made this session possible!
