Register for Experimental Drawing 1 & 2 with Nonesuch Artist in Residence Carlos Gomez

This series of workshops will pull away from academic drawing and will instead explore a more intuitive side of drawing. Drawing as a complex world of symbolic relationships and a way of expressing thought. We draw with our brains, which can be divided into rational and irrational thinking. Rational drawing is concerned with control of the line, representation, and managing light and volume. Irrational drawing involves emotions, sensations and abstraction. These workshops will focus on bridging these two sides of drawing to foster creativity.
