The Practice of Mark-Making:Gestures, Repetition & Attention is a drawing centered workshop and class focusing on gestures, lines, loops, and repeated marks as a way to slow down and reconnect to your practice. This workshop includes a mark-making kit to take home to continue your practice at home

This is not a technical drawing class; it’s an expressive one. We will take a look into the practice and work of artists such as Cy Twombly, Agnes Martin, Joan Miró and Joan Mitchell. They will be our guides to better understand how marks become language.
