'Connecting with Nature' drawing workshop

Centre for Sustainability,Equality&Climate Action

A drawing workshop 'in the field' with Dan Shipsides, artist and Senior Lecturer in Art & Design at Ulster University

Queen's University Belfast PEC (meeting point)

A drawing workshop &#x27;in the field&#x27;. Approximately 2 hoursNo experience or imagined &#x27;talent&#x27; needed at all. In fact, existing &#x27;artistry&#x27; might be a hinderance.Dan will take a small group drawing in the local natural environment in the vicinity of Queen&#x27;s University Belfast. Based on observation, spatial and structural embodiment and performance, rather than picture making, Dan will tutor you to help you engage with a process of drawing that aims to create &#x27;drawing as&#x27; rather than &#x27;drawing of&#x27; nature Reality not representation.Field easels, drawing boards, paper and drawing materials will be provided - all you need to do is turn up, be open and happy to let go of expectations and get your fingernails dirty! We will be walking a relatively short distance and the drawing activity will be standing (although if you&#x27;re unable to do this we will endeavour find a way to accommodate your needs - please advise via seca@qub.ac.uk).Dress for the weather, bring a bottle of water and small cloth (for washing hands).If very wet we can relocate indoors and adapt (we have secured indoor space at Queen&#x27;s University in case this is necessary). Please note: as this is a small-group workshop, if you register but are then unable to attend, please let us know in advance so we can reallocate your ticket.T﻿his workshop is hosted by the GroundSwell Consortium.
