Drawing Workshop III

led by Helen Hawes

In Drawing Workshop III we will explore drawing as dialogue. Dialogue is about conscious relationship and involves an equal exchange of information from two or more distinct sources. We learn to give our drawings autonomy and let them speak for themselves.

Our society often thinks in either / or terms, right or wrong, good or bad, night or day. This drastically limits the texture of our experience. By combining words and marks in the same exercise, we can embrace the conscious and unconscious as equals, simultaneously. This enables us to build a relationship of trust between the two, expanding our repertoire of felt experiences and bringing us more alive.
