One spot left in the Intersession Drawing Marathon

One spot left in the Intersession Drawing Marathon – VIRTUAL: Drawing on Your Past / The Mind’s Eye with Graham Nickson & Guests beginning this Thursday. Register today and join us from your studio, anywhere in the world!

Thursday, March 23 – Monday, March 27
9am – 6pm ET
APPLY LINK IN BIO

"This Intersession Marathon will be a rigorous five days where we explore the power of imagery and what makes it have its strengths. We will ask questions like where does mystery come from and how can we experience it for ourselves in our work? It takes imagination to draw empirically and perceptually, so we will explore our imagination deeply. We’ll touch on the power of images and the process of creating it by metaphor. We may investigate the vehicle that these images are carried or displayed in, be it a scroll, a book or a cave. We will look at great examples from the past and present."
– Graham Nickson, Dean
