Welcome to Move Along: Collaborative Drawing with Sarah Christie.

Drawing can be many things: a useful tool, an enjoyable and absorbing activity, a form of expression. In an active and collaborative drawing workshop, we will overcome the blank page by using movement strategies and mark-making techniques to gain confidence in drawing, and open up the possibilities of working with paper. All materials supplied. Twenty places available.

Sarah Christie is an artist exploring the traces and expressions of touch and forms of contact, movement and navigation of spaces. Working in clay and with drawing, she is developing research around skin and the body, and embodiment though materials. She teaches regular arts-based workshops at Imperial College Medical School, to develop tactile and visual observation, descriptive and communication skills through language, drawing and 3D modelling. She leads visual arts workshops and supervises students on the BSc Humanities, Philosophy and the Law degree, also at Imperial's Medical School, as well as running occasional workshops for adults and children
