About the Workshop
The objective of the 100 Drawings class is to strengthen students’ drawing techniques and broaden the scope of visual thinking through a rigorous concentration on the process of drawing. Participants explore a wide range of subjects and media, and experiment with collage, paint and mixed media applications. Working from observation and imagination at a pace of 20 drawings per day, 100 Drawings is like running a visual marathon. It will inspire your creative spirit, bolster confidence, and open new avenues for enthusiastic art-making in the future.
