Course Description

In this course you will explore the scope of what drawing can be today. Across two weeks, you will work with a range materials and techniques – both traditional and non-traditional – and experiment with how drawing interacts with other media like sculpture, photography, performance, and installation. The aim of this course is to help guide you to expand your artistic vocabulary and to give you space to independently develop your own contemporary drawing practice.

 

In the first week tutors will lead you through a series of workshops, introducing different approaches to drawing. Each day you will work with a new set of materials paired with a new way of thinking about making art. In the second week, you will move into personal studio spaces to develop your work and try out new experiments, culminating with a public exhibition. Throughout, you will regularly discuss your work in personal tutorials and group crits, and you will expand your thinking through a program of contextual lectures, artist’s talks, and gallery visits.
