In an image saturated world the way we interpret imagery through art making is more important than ever. This workshop aims to help students to explore how drawing is a way of interpreting and understanding imagery and ideas from diverse sources, including, pop-culture, photography, personal narratives, myths and perception. Emphasis will be placed on how aspects of drawing including , mark making, materiality, time, sequence, distortion, ambiguity, chance and style contribute to the use of imagery and ideas in all art.
PLEASE BRING:
- Your preferred drawing materials. These could be black and white (graphite pencils, charcoal, ink, pens, markers etc.) or coloured (watercolours,inks, pastels, coloured pencils, markers etc.), dry materials or wet, or a combination.
- Papers or other supports you wish to work on. Bring various types of paper, considering how the weight, texture and colour can support different materials and aid in the creation of a particular visual atmosphere.
Sources for the imagery that you would like to work with/reinterpret. These sources could be any kind of handmade or printed material (photos, books, magazines, advertisements, illustrations, maps, art reproductions etc.) If you wish to work from the digital screen, bring a large enough screen to a provide a clear image.
