Across seven sessions, we will work on the fundamentals of drawing: observation, composition, gesture, and space. Each session focuses on a different way of approaching drawing, from learning ways of seeing, to working with negative space, the body, fiction, and intuition.
Through practical exercises, we will learn how to translate what we see into lines, forms, and marks, how to abstract, and how to make decisions while drawing. We will also learn how to stay with an image a bit longer, until something shifts.
We will look at familiar things until they become slightly unfamiliar. Drawing will be used not only to describe what is in front of us, but to notice how we see, what we overlook, what we think, and what begins to appear when we pay attention.
The course combines technical learning with a more open and experimental approach, helping you to develop your own visual language, and find a way of drawing that feels natural to you.
By the end, you will have developed a personal drawing practice, with tools and methods you can continue using on your own.
Check www.opek.be for more information about how to get here. At the first session, you will be welcomed by someone from WISPER who will tell you exactly where in/around the building your course takes place.
Good to know if you take a full-day course here: for the lunch break, you can bring your own lunch, eat in at Café Entrepot or buy something at the Lidl supermarket around the corner.
