This is an observational drawing course, 1.5 hours a week for 5 weeks. Each workshop will include structured drawing instruction and drawing exercises to help you develop drawing skills. Sessions are structured sequentially: body, line, light, form, and colour. They explore ideas about sight and vision to help you see differently through drawing, learning how to make discoveries through the process of relational observation. At the end of the course, you will have insight into drawing practice and the process of drawing as a different way of thinking about knowledge. John Berger declares “Drawing is discovery… nearly every artist can draw when they have made a discovery - but to draw in order to make a discovery - that is a god-like process, that is to find effect and cause.”
Drawing may complement your research process and may open up new ways of thinking about knowledge, a practice that helps you discover the world around you.
The workshops are open to researchers of all backgrounds and drawing abilities: you can all already draw!
