Overview

Explore how body, movement and mind connect through expressive mark-making and creative exercises.

Using a range of drawing practices, our professional artist Amy will guide you through a series of exercises. If you prefer to have guidance when drawing, please ask any time during the class!

Work in an expressive, meditative way to awaken creative abilities that are innate, direct and intuitive, but often lie dormant unless we consciously activate them.

Use simple strategies to deepen this connection: quieting the mind, extending the eye–hand connection to the whole body, experimenting with different materials and mark-making, and drawing the model at quick speeds moving into different positions, followed by a longer pose to end.

Ideas for your materials to bring along:

• Charcoal sticks
• Soft pastels (oil or chalk)
• Brushes if you like to add a wash (water available in toilets)
• Water-soluble ink and Chinese brush
• Hard and soft pencils
• Watercolour pencils
• Small container (for water and mixing)
• Plenty of paper and types of coloured paper
• Sharpener and eraser

Please note that spares of many of these items will be provided!

If you prefer to just turn up on the day, feel free to do so and pay in cash!
