Think you have to be great at art, or at least experienced, to enjoy a Fall Arts Institute workshop? Think again! This fall, over half our workshops are open to true beginners or novices.
As a kid, was your macaroni artwork always the worst in the class? When you handed your mom a drawing, did she say "Awwww, it's pretty! What is it?" Then consider taking Richard Hull's workshop, "Drawing for Beginners," November 1 - 4.
In this workshop, we'll use perceptual drawing exercises to address how we see, and memory drawing exercise to understand how our perception is affected by memory. We'll engage in a wide range of drawing techniques, both additive and subtractive. Whether these exercises lead to abstraction or representation, the ultimate goal will be to make something you never thought you would.
