Drawing can help us observe our external environment and also get in touch with internal ideas and perceptions that lie below the surface of our conscious minds. In this workshop led by Andrea Kantrowitz, we engage in individual and group drawing activities to unleash and expand our powers of observation, discovery, and invention.
Using a variety of materials, we explore several drawing techniques and develop and hone our skills. Through collaborative exercises and group sharing, we learn from each other and surprise ourselves. Andrea shares recent findings in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, as well as accounts of her own artistic and teaching practices. Throughout the week, we discover—and rediscover—universal human capacities to invent and imagine new objects, beings, and worlds.
All levels, from novice to expert, are welcome. Materials will be provided by the instructor and you are also welcome to bring your favorites.
