Summer 2020 – Contemplative Drawing (Online)
Contemplative Drawing (Online)
Sarah Ammons
8 Sessions>> Tuesdays, June 30- August 11
6:00-9:00pm, Online + Studio 13, $385
Contemplative Drawing is a meditative practice of syncing the eye with the hand. Through a series of exercises we explore and find new ways of seeing and representing the world around us. In this practice we will enhance our perceptual skills, expand our concepts of reality and how we understand it through the language of line-work. Each class will consist of a series of exercises that are designed to activate and develop the creative “Right Brain” and free ourselves from the sometimes hypercritical “Left Brain” ultimately strengthening our observational drawing abilities. We will be working from the world around us at home, still life and photo. This class is great for beginners as well as experienced artists.
