WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Participants will experience a range of approaches to making and thinking about drawings. In addition, the potential of words - within and alongside drawings, as lines and marks that shift and shape meanings – will also be called into play. Participants will be encouraged to work on a variety of scales using a range of media in both two and three dimensions.

GUEST SERIES FORMAT

We will be joined by guests from different fields: art, anatomy, fashion, and graphic novels. each of whom is committed to drawing. The format for the Guest Series will be for each guest to give a talk about how drawing relates to their own work and field, then at a later date they will lead a day long drawing workshop based on their practice.

BIO

Chris Francis is an arts educator, illustrator and co-founder of ArtPedagogy and PhotoPedagogy, two popular online resources for artists, educators and students. Chris best summarises his creative practice as ‘serious mischief’ – an ongoing quest to unpick art and art education via thinking hard coupled with less predictable actions and collaborations, be it material-led play, automatic drawings, collaborative interventions, or throwing a timely spanner in the works.
