In Dialogue with the Body
An Expressive Drawing workshop with Anna Falcini
Service Description
Practicing artist and researcher Anna Falcini invites you to explore drawing as a tool to connect with the body and mind through expressive, mark making techniques using ink, charcoal, pen, gouache and pencil, onto a variety of papers including Japanese mulberry paper, tracing paper and cartridge papers. Anna will introduce a number of drawing processes and will encourage you to respond to natural materials such as nests, bark, stones, shells etc through slow, mindful observation using sensations such as touch and smell, as well as looking at objects. You will be encouraged to create your own unique vocabulary of mark making through approaches to line, tone, and collage techniques. The drawing workshop focuses on drawing as a tool to re-connect with your mind and body without judgement. The pace will be gentle and unrushed with an emphasis on open ended creativity and possibilities rather than rigid outcomes. Anna will suggest a number of starting points for the drawings and will guide you along the way to find your own language for expressive drawings.
