Drawing the Everyday: Interiors & Interiority
10 Week Class | Registration opens 2025-10-14 12:00 PM
Explore everyday life through drawing in this introductory course. Using materials such as marker, charcoal, and ink, students will experiment with mark-making to capture interiors, routines, moods, and personal spaces. We will consider how daily practices shape our art making, asking: what do our familiar spaces say about us, and how can drawing these spaces reflect inner thoughts? Through experimentation, discussion, and reference to contemporary artists, students will develop both formal skills and conceptual approaches to representing the everyday.
