About this Event
Drawing is a playful act, it’s not only about the subjects we draw, but also how we engage our bodies. Yes, think beyond your hands holding pencils. We want to challenge the norms of how we create images by changing the way we draw. We will use constraints to ignite our imagination, step out our comfort zone, and see what visual possibilities this can open. Whether that’s from drawing with your eyes closed or using gestural actions to rehearse mark making. We’ve got a bag full of ideas on how we can create these changes. Just bring your creative self and an open mind to test, try, and have loads of fun. Collaboration will be brought into the experiments, we will encourage everyone to interact with the space, the objects, and each other.
Let’s embark on this creative journey together!
