Youth: Drawing Explorations (11-16yrs)
4 Day Workshop | Available
This Youth Summer Workshop will offer students the opportunity to explore and expand their drawing skills including traditional and experimental methods. You will be encouraged to get out of your comfort zone working not just on tables, but also wall space, easels and floors, being open to new and challenging ideas and to receive mentorship in individual and group discussions. Through demonstrations, presentations and assignments, students will develop a body of work investigating mark making, line, value, gesture, surface treatment, perspective, proportion, colour, scale and composition using dry and wet media on various grounds.
Students will be introduced to the importance of drawing in art history as well as investigating contemporary artists and their methods. Field trips to museums and galleries will be announced in advance.
