This workshop explores how bodily movement can shape the marks we make in drawing and painting. You will learn how a single intentional movement can transfer strength, rhythm, and continuity into a mark.
Inspired by the tradition of Chinese painting, brush strokes become the consequence and evidence of your bodily movement. You will experience how movement and power shape images.
Through a series of exercises such as blind drawing, speed drawing, Chinese brushwork, and large scale body driven marks, you will experience how different materials and scales influence the way we move and create. These exercises will also help you understand how movement changes in each context.
The workshop welcomes participants of all skill levels. The focus is not on technical perfection but on developing awareness, presence, and to know more about your body.
