The focus of this day and a half drawing workshop is to broaden a students drawing skills to include the forms and light of our three dimensional world and engage the unique properties required to translate volumetric form, in space and light, to a two dimensional drawing surface. My intent is not help students complete finished drawings but through the act of drawing experience a brief but visually engaged witness to the vastness and complexity of our visual world which lies unseen by most; with my workshops' focus in mind I have divided the time into three segments each related but each addressing progressively more complex visual problems. First using simple shapes and more geometrical in form as subjects with a predominate light source then secondly plaster cast figures and skull with again predominate light source and finally using my dog and myself as models to experience drawing live breathing forms.
