Drawing close up and far away
Exercise your powers of observation and hone your unique visual language.
Drawing is about pausing and interacting with your environment through looking carefully, interpreting what you see, and expressing your observations.
This in turn can generate wonder about the world around you.
Why would I want to do this?
Drawing is:
A different way of communicating other than talking, and one that children often excel at but then forget along the way.
Great for our brains as it uses different areas of the brain.
Activates the imagination which is where ideas and hope lie.
Initiates problem solving.
Leads to new ideas.
Helps us to look at the world differently.
Prompts us to focus.
Leads to a flow state.
Is fun, especially with others.
A good way to share ideas.
Simple and creative.
Fundamental to all other mediums.
$35 / 2 sessions
