Drawing from the Body: See the Music
This is a version of Drawing from the Body- learn more here.
Instructed by Meiying, this workshop will be an expressive and multi-media figure drawing workshop.
How can sound, the body, and drawing all connect? Learn the basics of figure drawing through a visual exploration of dance and gesture. Working from observation of a live professional dancer, we will capture energy and rhythm in playful quick sketches and multimedia experiments!
