“Drawing is the artist’s most direct and spontaneous expression, a species of writing; it reveals, better than does painting, the true personality.”— Edgar Degas

ONLINE WORKSHOP

Drawing is the language of ideas.

In this workshop we will use drawing as a means to find and develop an idea and translate these preliminary works into one or more paintings. Over the span of the workshop, using both drawing and painting materials, you will sketch and sketch and sketch some more! It is in the sketch that your ideas will be born. We will begin with sketchbook prompts, touching on different art idioms: observation, abstraction, and imagination. In addition, you will create some developed drawings that will form the basis of a final painting.

Through presentations, critique, and guided assignments we will develop our analytical thinking about the union of form and content necessary to give a visual voice to an idea.

Meetings will be held on Zoom and work will be shared on Padlet, an online platform.
