Including the extremely popular “Texture Explosion: series, this set of tutorials will provide your school with the perfect support system, both for your colleagues, any potential new staff entering your department, and of course your main focus, the students. The format of each tutorial is split into 10 minutes (approx) chapters to maximize everybody’s learning capabilities and to cater for every concentration span. Schools already utilise this system as a lesson introduction and even allow the entire DVD to run on the classroom whiteboard throughout the duration of the lesson as a constant source of inspiration.

THE TEXTURE EXPLOSION SERIES
This set of Ian Murphy DVD’s is by far the most popular with thriving Art and Design departments where there is a particularly strong link between Fine Art and Creative Textile practice. Many of the techniques featured are applicable to both sets of students and teachers, and are perfect for encouraging the experimentation of mixed media and the creative risk taking process. Ian Murphy guides you his layering methods, both on paper and canvas, illustrating the exciting developments with such materials as dye, ink, paint, scrim and collage to name but a few, and essentially, also included in the DVD set are two of the methods he uses to apply text to the surface of his work, one of which is the incredible use of the laser cutting machine.
Plus, as an invaluable extra to the DVD package, we are including the very popular disc of HD images taken from the amazing locations Ian Murphy has worked from around the world.
The 50 fantastic photographs illustrate how he selects the best compositions, using great viewpoints to capture the beautiful and tactile surfaces, and of course the strong cultural identity. These images make the perfect source material to draw from, and also provide students with an inspirational reference to go out into the built environment and search for their own ideas.
An added bonus is that the images can be printed and copied as many times as you need, providing you with the perfect visual resource for all your other classes.

THE DRAWING COLLECTION
A perfect combination of drawing techniques and processes, illustrating how Ian Murphy works on a small scale in his sketchbook, and then how he takes the ideas further into the development ideas in his studio. The drawing tutorials are filmed up-close with multiple cameras to give you the very best insight into his mixed media applications, describing his approaches to such things as graphite, fine line pen and the tactile paint layers.
PLUS
We feel the package would not be complete without the visual resource material to ensure that your students have got the perfect inspirational images to work from. The two support discs will provide you with the constant resources to view on screen or to print off to accommodate multiple classes.

The second disc is the extremely popular school resource that gives you a fantastic insight into the many locations that Ian Murphy has worked at around the world. The 50 HD photographs illustrate how he selects the best compositions, using great viewpoints to capture the beautiful and tactile surfaces, and of course the strong cultural identity.
