Investigating Drawing Summer School

Course Description:

With tutor Steph Knowles, you will establish good working practices in the studio, develop an affinity for materials, challenge assumptions, extend your definitions of what drawing is to explore the limits of our inventiveness.

Expect observational exercises, weird and wonderful warm ups, investigative studies with one-to-one support – feedback, fellowship and fun. Explore, observe, reflect and discuss. Learning is through a willingness to see what happens – a serious playfulness which allows us to discover what is possible.
