This drawing class will explore the many ways in which landscape may be responded to and interpreted, through drawing. Participants will be encouraged to detail their visual responses to the unique textures of the outer cape landscape by simplifying their palettes (working only in black, white and grey scale) in order to focus freely on form, value, and composition. In addition, students will be encouraged to explore the vernacular architecture’s relationship to landscape in order to further understand structure and build and enhance pictorial relationships so that they can begin to understand drawing process as their unique journey.

All sorts of 2-D images, including photographic and copier images will be considered fair game. A scanner and printer will be provided during the workshop, as well as various other toys and tools. Each participant can expect to take away an exciting set of work that pushes beyond his/her own conventions into new creative territory.
