Comedian Rich Hall on his new collection of short stories; Jack Black's new film Year One; artists explore the inner workings of the mind; John Wilson attends a life drawing class.
Comedian Rich Hall discusses his new collection of short stories featuring a cast of dysfunctional characters - from a baseball loving truck driver in Tennessee to a werewolf mistaken for Brian Blessed in London.
Natalie Haynes reviews new film Year One, which sees Jack Black as an inept caveman trying to survive.
Visitors to London's South Bank this summer may notice that some of the trees have been covered in red and white polka dots. This is because they've become part of a new exhibition, in which artists explore how the inner workings of the mind can be represented in three-dimensions. Cognitive neuroscientist Daniel Glaser discusses the exhibition.
In July 2009, a series of TV programmes will teach the nation how to draw, with tutors including John Berger, Maggi Hambling and Gary Hume. Life Class: Today's Nude will be preceded by a series of live drop-in life drawing classes around the country which begin today. John Wilson joins members of the public as they sit up at the easel, pick up a pencil and get drawing.
