When
Weekdays
Intensity rating
Fair to Moderate
Duration
6 weeks
Description
Drawing workshops have been designed for Creatives wishing to learn and explore the art and Hartspace of drawing. Drawing is the fundamental basis of all creative work, as it not only provides a lifelong skill, but also changes the way in which we visually see the world around us. Learning to draw is less about mastering any specific tool or technique, and more about learning to see accurately, holistically and being present in the moment. Drawing what you are seeing at that present moment, without being distracted by preconceived ideas, makes for a convincing, heartfelt drawing. The exercises presented give the participant the skills to see – to really see – taking our visual awareness from a conscious effort to a subconscious, natural response to our environment. Learning to ‘see’ opens up avenues of exploration often neglected – creating an awareness and an appreciation for all that is our world.
