Experimental Drawing | Term Two, 2024

Create intrigue and originality in your drawings by experimenting and exploring new creative approaches to expand your practice. Discover new ways to express yourself by exploring the use of line, tone, texture and ways to use gesture and mark-making that excites the eyes. Explore an array of drawing materials and subject matter, including a session working with a life model and a field trip.
