Communicating through drawing
Drawing workshop for children 7 October - 11 November 2022
The workshop aims to provide the fundamental tools useful for acquiring precise technical knowledge in the field of image communication. Through a training course divided into 6 sessions, we’ll address all the main problems related to the art of drawing (management of mass and space, light and shadow, anatomy, dynamism, colour, etc.), favouring the natural development of each individual student’s personal style.
The path will proceed on two parallel tracks, one theoretical and the other practical, aimed at analysing the medium in all its formal, historical and stylistic facets and in its concrete methods of creation.
In collaboration with Redhouse Lab.
