Course Description

Drawing is the aspect of unearthing one’s own art and ideas, of moving with an evolving sounding board, of being in a mode of interior thinking and receiving next steps. This course poses drawing as a question or search that will enrich each individual’s particular art context and contemporary perspective. With a strong emphasis on “looking”, at both subjects and drawings themselves, students will work to expand their visual language and strengthen their individual approach through a question they set up for themselves. Returning to this question, as the parameters for drawing broaden, becomes a connective thread towards the weaving of a personal paradigm within one’s work. In this two-week intensive Drawing Marathon, each student will develop methods and practices to develop the idea of drawing as backbone of studio practice.
