Get ready for a playful, experimental, and inquisitive drawing class! Rooted in the idea that drawing is an accumulation of marks and gestures, this class is designed to explore different techniques and strategies beyond observational drawing practices in order to create expressive, potentially abstract, and non-traditional looking drawings. Using both familiar and perhaps unfamiliar materials, this course will serve as a bridge between traditional and contemporary drawing practices. Classes will include demos, contemporary and art historical context, and feedback from the instructor and fellow students.

What you will learn:
1. A variety of approaches to composition, value, mark, and texture in drawing
2. How to embrace process over product
3. How to use a range of media including ink and charcoal dust
4. Art Historical as well as contemporary context for drawing
