How do we really learn to see all the details in our daily lives? In this course, we make the sketchbook a permanent companion. We learn to look and observe without worrying about ‘perfect drawing’. By sketching every day, we discover our own way of approaching the world and develop our personal style step by step.
During classes, we explore various techniques to deepen our drawing skills and sharpen our sense of observation. Each evening we focus on specific assignments that challenge us to see from a new perspective. We work further on previously made sketches, but sometimes we start all over again with a blank sheet. In general, the assignments involved are low-key and focused on enjoying the process.
We pay special attention to capturing public spaces and take the leap to dare to draw on the spot. Because sometimes the magic lies in the moment itself, in the imperfection of a quick sketch.
WISPER Gent is situated at the Dok Noord site. Make sure to read the information on our Dok Noord page beforehand because this place can be a bit of a maze when you first come here.
