student drawing from from Cockatoo Island,
Drawing Week 2010
Experiments in Drawing will be run on Cockatoo Island by Joe Frost, who says:
One possible definition of drawing is that it is
the action of moving a piece of material across a surface, leaving a line. Like
speaking or walking it is simple and available to all people, but many
different factors have complicated our relationship to drawing, bringing
expectations of sophistication and artistic intention. This workshop will
proceed with the proposition that the most important resources for a vital
practice of drawing - curiosity and mindfulness - are already in your
possession. Working in response to some aspect of the Cockatoo Island
environment you will be encouraged to look and think purposefully and develop
images from first experiments to a clear resolution. Materials, size and number
of works will vary according to your interests. Your work might be
representational or move towards abstraction, and the week will begin with a
discussion of the tremendous potential in the relationship of these two
possibilities.
