Embodied Energy Through Drawing

Push the boundaries of your drawing practice, go deeper, and develop your mark-making, surface development, form, and composition using still life and nature as inspiration.

In this experimental drawing course, you will be encouraged to explore playful techniques alongside more focused observational skills, all while considering scale and composition. You will be guided to work intensely, rapidly, abstractly, and prolifically using a range of materials. You will also learn how to create simple drawing tools and experiment with them. Your sources of inspiration will include still life and nature.

This course is suitable for experienced and beginners alike. Participants will build their confidence by creating artwork with new techniques and a wide variety of captivating drawing mediums, shifting from minimal to maximal approaches to rethink aesthetics. This is your chance to deeply reconnect with your creative practice and enhance your skills while experimenting spontaneously, which often leads to unexpected and exciting outcomes. Throughout our time together, your instructor will provide encouragement and support.

Please make sure to bring your sketchbooks, notebooks, and a camera or a phone with a camera.

This workshop includes an additional $35 tuition for materials.
