Drawing in Nature
Workshop for families
A course to develop and enrich your capacity of expression through drawing.
In this course we count on the best teacher ever: NATURE. The forest surrounding Cerdeira, with plenty of light and shade, textures, eye catching marks and lines, will be our studio as well as the beautiful Casa das Artes, rebuilt as example for an ecological approach to traditional architecture.
We will learn:
Different drawing techniques;
To observe Nature;
To find and explore our own way of expression.
In this two days workshop we will give priority to personal expression, using references and language of arts connected to a direct experience in the surrounding natural environment. Children and adults will explore drawing together, working with different materials and techniques.
