Unbox Presents: Lines Outside the Box Creative workshop seriesWorkshop #2 Crossing the binary - colouring outside the boxThese are going to be fun and relaxing drawing sessions with new accessible prompts each week that will be interesting and engaging! Participants will be encouraged to push themselves outside of the box, whether that be the box of gender or just the lines you usually create. In this session we will explore the concept of binary, how this can take many forms and how we can break free from it in our creative endeavors. This is not just for trans people, we want to create a space where everyone can create and explore together! The class starts with some quick and fun drawing exercises to get you warmed up. Then goes into longer drawing times and runs for 2 hours with 30 mins at the end to show off our work and have a chat to wind down. We believe we should foster creativity and play more than we do in our adult lives; so we create for the sake of creating, rather than to produce flawless art.What do I need?These sessions are for all creative spirits and no experience is needed. All that&#x27;s required is whatever materials you like to create with, an open mind, and a respect for others. Whilst some certain materials will be used by the facilitator, this is designed for folks to use whatever materials they would prefer to use. If you are new to creating stuff, we suggest the following to get you started, but if you know what you like to create with just bring it along. We suggest mediums you can work with quickly as some of the prompts are fast, so drawing is what we do but this is up to you! In this session the facilitator will be using markers and coloured pencils. Suggested Materials: -Paper or notepad (even lined paper is fine)-Pencils, pens, highlighter, felt tips, crayons, chalks - anything you have laying around the house, or fancier ones if you like! This session is all about COLOUR! so the more colourful the better! - You can alternatively draw on a tablet if you fancy and that is easier for you. - Your laptop or phone with the Zoom app downloadedWho is running the sessions?All the sessions will be facilitated by Octavian Starr, a trans community artist and advocate who believes creativity is for everyone and wants to create safe spaces for trans and other LGBQ+ people to explore art and be respected whilst doing so. The world is particularly hostile to trans folks at the moment, so having a space for them and their allies to create safely seemed needed! We will explore a range of subject matter, concepts, and themes centering around trans identities and gender. We are providing a safe community space where you can relax, create and share your artwork at the end of each session… but only if you want to! Each session is a bit different so check them all out! How much will it cost?Each art prompt session is ticketed and priced at £5 and £15, and you can join as many or as few workshops as you wish. We don’t want limited funds preventing anyone, especially people from marginalised groups, from attending.We encourage those with the ability to pay the higher ticket price to do, meaning the lower price tickets can be bought by those in marginalised communities and/or who are struggling due to the pandemic. Please get in touch with info@unboxdiversity.com for the limited comp tickets for those who cannot afford £5 at this moment. At least one workshop will be a life drawing session with a live trans model. Live model events will have a higher price as 50% will go to pay the model at a fair rate.
