Saturday & Sunday, February 10 – February 11, 2024
10:00am – 4:00pm
A playful and process-based workshop on drawing.
This two-day workshop is open to anyone interested in letting go of expectation and exploring with mark-making. Over the weekend we will be engaging in drawing as a creative practice that can lead you to new discoveries.
We will approach drawing not just as a tool of representation but as a mode of discovery. We will be employing conventional and unconventional strategies to investigate curiosities through the act of drawing.
Participants can expect to learn exercises and prompts that could be used beyond the workshop to develop their own ongoing drawing practice.
Students should bring:
- black paper (18 x 24”)
- pencils (good quality); grades HB, 2B, 4B and 6B
- compressed charcoal
- good white eraser
Optional: - kneaded rubber eraser (for charcoal)
- graphite sticks; one each of B, 2B, 4B and 6B
- conte sticks; two each of white, grey, black, and sanguine
Our School will also have items from this list available to use if needed.
