Limited to 20 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Fee: $50.00 for supplies

This class will explore issues of spatial representation. Students will start with the basics of drawing and mark-making through the sketching of simple objects and, through a series of workshops, establish different means and media to represent spaces in ways that go beyond literal representation.

The class will be structured around a series of workshops that will introduce different techniques, e.g. perspectival drawings, the process of collage, and crafting, to produce Three-Dimensional drawings. The goal of the course is to offer participants both technical and non-technical approaches techniques for producing spatial hybrid drawings. At its core, this class is about the joy of drawing and visual expressions.

Students may choose to explore the various drawing techniques or to become an expert on one of them.
