Riverside Branch Library
The objective of this eight week workshop was to investigate and practice the skill of drawing. It is my belief that everyone can draw, given that you have the patience and desire to devote time to your practice. A drawing does not have to be an exact representation in order to qualify it as a drawing; rather it is about discovering the essence of the subject being drawn that brings it to life on the page. In the workshop we considered the variety of ways to mark marks.
Besides drawing from observation (actual objects), we used secondary sources (photographs), and ultimately drew upon each individual’s life experiences as inspiration for their drawings.
