@Brooklyn Workshop Gallery

Saturday & Sunday, March 16 & 17, 10am-1pm

$250

This 2 day process-oriented workshop is open to anyone interested in pushing through creative blocks or ruts, or who just needs a good jump-start. The course is taught through visual means, but is open to those in all creative fields, veteran and novice alike. We will explore ways of incorporating our experiences and the world around us to awaken our creativity and push through our fears and judgments.

There will be in-class and a few out-of-class assignments utilizing drawing, painting and collage along with other exercises, such as collaboration and random function. There will be opportunity for individual conferences exploring your own projects and/or goals to any participant who is interested.

Materials: Bring paper, glue or glue stick, drawing instruments, a bottle of ink and anything else you want to work with.
Paper – you will want a decent supply of white/light colored loose pages (which can be torn out of a sketchbook or ripped down from large sheets or rolls). The size is up to you though I’d recommend something around the standard 8.5 x 10 size (6x8 – 11x14). You want the size to be something big enough to work with in terms of holding information but also small enough to comfortably carry around in a pile in a backpack or bag. if you want, bring different types of paper and sizes.

Drawing instruments – pencils, pens, crayons, charcoal, anything you like to use or want to try.

Glue stick – my favorite is pentel roll’n glue which can often be found in pharmacy stationary sections, for some reason.

Bottle of ink – bring at least 1 bottle of ink, any color any type.

Space is limited. Early reservation recommended. e-mail: mplandis (at) gmail (dot) com
