This workshop is geared towards adventurous individuals eager to explore new creative terrain and the art educator who wants to expand the way they think about drawing. The class considers the criteria for successful experimental work and looks at contemporary artists using experimental drawing as their primary artistic practice. Drawing is considered as a mode of discovery and creativity. Experimentation is key to exploring the parameters of drawing. Working from observation to the abstract, participants engage in a range of processes using traditional tools and materials in non-traditional ways, as well as using unconventional materials as a means to examine the possibilities of mark-making, space, and surfaces. Spontaneity and improvisation are emphasized as methods of exploration in the creation of mixed media drawings as well as ephemeral works; including collage, image transfer, artists’ books, monoprints, and more. Emphasis is placed on examining the relationship between how drawings are made and what they potentially express. Class time is split between presentations, dialogue and studio time. / Please note that this classroom is only accessible via stairs.
