About this course
The course examines objects and images made across different cultures and historical periods, considering how they might inform drawing in the present. Participants use these references as starting points for their own work, with studio access to easels, drawing boards, charcoal, newsprint, masking tape, cartridge paper and watercolour paper. Learners may also bring additional materials for personal use, such as pencils, pastels, ink pens or a sketchbook.
