This session we take inspiration from Auguste Rodin, who was better known as a sculptor and artist, but, what about his life drawing sessions with his live-in muses? We read from "Auguste Rodin, Exotic Drawings" by Anne Marie Bonnet.

May, one of the organizers of Life Drawing Manchester, joins this week's session to talk about what it has been like to move their physical sessions to the online platforms we have all become familiar with recently.

At times, and specifically, more recently, William uses life drawing to compliment his poems. William is a decorated writer and poet who has found his way to life drawing. He focuses just as much on the emotions in the room as he does the human form. To learn more about William check out his instagram or website by searching for @williameatonworld

Egon Schiele is the classic story of unrequited love. The tragic story of Egon's work and life is expressed in his nude drawings that are still highly referenced and influential to any person considering getting any form of expression in their work. In his short life, he made a vast amount of content and volume of life drawings, none of which were celebrated in his time. In retrospect, he is considered an artistic genius who developed a style all to his own.

We all speak a language, and our mother tongue allows us to communicate with our peers and families. However, the language of art history and the way in which classic art historical paintings speak is a learned methodology and/ or philosophy. By reading from a reference book for art historians, hopefully, it allows the listener to think about the way in which they use the page.

It is important to not ignore the background because it enlightens our human subject. What is behind the human figure is also just as interesting and important to measure the proportions of the figure. How do we use the background as a reference to enhance our drawings and make our shapes more accurate? Brandon reads from Adolf Loos' journal translated from German regarding 'good' design.

Carsten Dahl anses som en af Danmarks mest talentfulde musikalske sjæle. Han har medvirket på mere end 300 plader og er kendt fra jazzens verden, men han har også komponeret store orkesterværker. Når han ikke slipper sin originalitet ud i musikken, så svinger han penslen som billedkunstner. Vi inviterede Carsten Dahl ind i Absalons radiotårn til en snak med hans gode ven Lennart Lajboschitz. Over en kande kaffe tager de to venner en tur gennem musik, der har betydet noget for Carsten. Både...

Lyt med onsdage kl. 11 & 18, når 'Iværksætter-Lennart' og 'Psyko-Mette' kaster sig ud i deres nye radioprogram, 'Skaberkraft', i Absalon Radio. De finder lysglimt i tiden og giver hinanden (og dem der lytter med!) et los i bagen til at få taget handling på egne værdier.

Lyt med hver torsdag når Alexander hylder musik nørderiet og hiver en ukendt plade ned fra hylden. Vi børster støvet af skiven og dykker ned i alt det du ikke vidste om denne uges plade.
