DESCRIPTION:
The act of “making marks” is a fundamental need rooted in our origin as human beings. Allowing ourselves to be guided by what we create is extremely liberating and fuels our creativity.
In this workshop, we will explore the power of rhythms as we make marks with ink.
We will experiment with creating unintentional compositions, seeking unknown situations as a human need for visual expression, concentration, and the connection between mind and body.
In this creative lab, we will explore our capacity for free expression using unconventional objects such as sticks, feathers, packaging, brushes, leaves, cardboard, and more.
We will use water-based materials (India ink, writing ink, and watercolors), soluble drawing tools, and explore their expressive potential. The drawings are not meant to represent anything concrete — the focus is on the experience. For this, no prior experience with the technique or drawing is needed; all you need is the willingness to explore and be brave.
Finally, observing shapes from a different perspective will awaken your creativity and your ability to see your marks with a new eye — a freer, more open, and creative outlook.
