Overview
In this course you will explore the scope of what drawing can be today. Across two weeks, you will work with a range materials and techniques – both traditional and non-traditional – and experiment with how drawing interacts with other media like sculpture, photography, performance, and installation.
The aim of this course is to help guide you to expand your artistic vocabulary and to give you space to independently develop your own contemporary drawing practice.
Who this course is for
This course is open to all levels of experience, though some experience of an art practice is recommended.
All participants must be over the age of 18.

In the second week, you will move into personal studio spaces to develop your work and try out new experiments, culminating with a public exhibition.
Teaching and structure
Throughout, you will regularly discuss your work in personal tutorials and group crits, and you will expand your thinking through a program of contextual lectures, artist’s talks, and gallery visits.
A list of required materials will be sent one month before the start of the course.
