Drawing in Hunter Valley away from noises and ties of everyday life will be relaxing and allow time and space for reconnecting and remembering our creative selves. We will work from life models who move to music exploring the nature of seeing through drawing and movement. Simple movement sessions will follow Anna Halprin’s deep understanding of awakening creativity through movement, while drawing with charcoal ink and water in a safe and relaxed atmosphere will allow us to rediscover the natural wisdom of the body, drop the thinking mind with its preconceived ideas and reclaim and deepen our drawing skills. We can all draw if we can only learn to open our eyes, relax and actually see, hear and feel what is in front of us.

This workshop is for architects, architecture students and anybody else who feels moved to draw.

Learning to draw – Learning to feel – Learning to see
