Fridays , February 17 – March 31, 2023
1:30pm – 4:30pm
This seven-week drawing workshop is open to anyone interested in drawing as creative practice. Over the seven weeks we will look at both historical and contemporary examples of artists that use drawing as practice. We will approach drawing not just as a tool of representation but as a mode of discovery; employing conventional and unconventional strategies and materials to investigate curiosities through mark-making.
Participants can expect to learn exercises and prompts that could be used beyond the workshop to develop their own ongoing drawing practice. Together we will explore meaning making through materials and process.
Students should bring:
- newsprint pad (18 x 24)
- drawing paper (18 x 24”) Stonehenge, Arches, Rives
- tracing paper
- black paper (18 x 24”)
- pencils (good quality); grades HB, 2B, 4B and 6B
