Workshop Description
This three-week drawing workshop explores the expressive and narrative power of line, guiding students from playful improvisation through emotional resonance to refined composition. Beginning with the joy of spontaneous mark-making, students develop their understanding of line quality, shape, memory, and narrative. The course culminates in applying compositional theory to create drawings with depth, intention, and personal meaning.
Workshop Outline
Week 1. Anatomy of Line
When I first start a drawing I try to summon up pure joy and pure response. The drawing is an improvisation and my focus is as much on the pears as the quality of line and mark making.
LIne Quality.
Space & Form.
Improvisation.
At the end of this session the student will be better able to explore and experiment with line quality, be able to discuss these qualities with their peers and apply learning to their own drawing. They will also have a broader understanding of improvisation and experimentation within their own drawing practise.
Week 2. Poetry of Line
Once I have a simple response on the page I begin to refine and play with shapes. Always in relation to one another.
Empathic drawing and emotional response.
Memory & Detail.
Narrative in Drawing.
At the end of this session the student will have a better understanding of what they already know. And be able to apply this to the challenge of making a drawing with purpose and meaning. The student will also understand how narrative and time can be used in drawing.
Week 3. Synthesis of Line
As I get nearer to what I want, I begin to allow a fuller emotive response to take over and let the drawing become itself.
Fundamentals and composition.
Compositional Theory.
Generating options, creating options.
At the end of this session the student will have an increased theoretical understanding of composition and be able to explore a range of options for final composition.
Workshop Materials List
Pencils 4B, 6B, graphite stick (4B,6B) Drawing paper A4, A3, A2 A1, Rubber, Sharpener
