SUMMARY:Experimental Drawing with Melanie Carr
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Information\nDates: Saturdays\, from October 30 – November 20 \nTime: 12 PM – 2 PM \nLocation: Five Points Arts Center Drawing Lab \nAges: 16+ \nCost: $125 \nClass Cap: 12 \n  \nEvent Link \nhttps://fivepointsarts.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/fivepointsarts/event.jsp?event=27& \n  \nWorkshop Description\nFocus on an experimental approach to materials and mark making in this hands-on workshop. We will expand our understanding of drawing beyond direct observation and increase our awareness of ideas regarding drawing tools\, surfaces\, and compositions. We’ll make our own tools\, and explore mark making methods to include elements of chance\, exaggeration\, collaboration\, and abstraction\, to name a few. The format of this workshop consists of a wide variety of mark making and creativity exercises to stimulate the imagination. Be prepared to head back into your studio with a fresh new approach as you discover new ways of thinking about drawing! \nThis workshop is open to students of all levels and is designed for those who are open to experimentation and want to discover connections between mark making\, medium\, imagination\, and intuition. \n  \nRequired Materials\n\nDrawing Paper Pad (14” x 17” or larger)\nBristol Board Pad (14” x 17” or larger)\nA plastic cup or bowl for water\nBlack ink\nInexpensive brushes\, variety of sizes\nTooth picks\nSmall piece of cardboard\nDuct tape \nA few sticks \nString\nSpool of thread\nVariety of drawing (vine charcoal\, sharpies\, graphite\, chalk\, pastels\, etc.)\nScissors and/or a blade for cutting paper (x-acto\, utility blade\, etc.)\n\n  \nInstructor Bio\nMelanie Carr is a Connecticut based artist who received her MFA from the College of Art and Design at Lesley University in 2011.
