Drawing Essentials Workshop – COURSE FULL
Description
From Da Vinci and Durer to Gehry and Gormley, creativity begins with drawing. As children, when we pick up a crayon and draw, we discover a liberating and potent way to describe the world around us. Drawing is our first language with which we communicate our dreams, our loves and fears, but over the years, something happens to persuade most of us that it is no longer of any value and we cease to make room for it in our lives.
In this one day course, we look at the key elements of drawing practise that unlock our ability to depict the world around us and gives us the confidence to embark on our own creative journey.
Ideal for beginners and anyone interested in painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture or any field in which communication skills are important.
