Drawing a space and space to draw! Ingres maintained “Drawing is the probity of art” and this workshop seeks to grasp the fundamentals of drawing from observation within the limits of a room.
Students will explore interior space in drawing, taking in a wider angle of vision than they are perhaps used to, and thus provide the confidence and knowledge to draw larger spaces afterwards, such as a landscape or streetscape.
Students will also investigate other aspects of drawing from observation to deepen their understanding of it; broadening their awareness of ways of looking at and perceiving a subject, and sharpening their skills of assessing relationships between the objects they are looking at. They will do various drawing exercises pertaining to all this, making both linear and tonal drawings. Hopefully this day will instil the criteria needed to approach the drawing of anything.
