In this class we will explore the many qualities and possibilities of drawing by asking questions and testing materials and ideas to hopefully arrive at a variety of answers. We will look for examples of drawing in the world around us, in search of its truth, beauty and relevance.

The expectation of each of you is to devote yourself wholeheartedly to these pursuits, to participate fully in our time together and in the work you do independently that contributes to our quest.
