Workshop

Less Thinking, More Drawing: An Improvisational Approach to Story & Idea Generation
Thursday, July 11, 8 –11am

Sometimes, as creative professionals, we allow ourselves too much time thinking by way of note taking, or thinking by way of editing, and not enough time thinking by way of drawing itself. Less Thinking, More Drawing is an introduction to a guided improvisation practice that can be implemented for artists and students alike. Participants will be led through a series of variations of a game called Silly Drawing, allowing chance to dictate the main elements of each drawing. Each round is drawn quickly, so as not to allow one's inner critic to have too much of a say. By the end of this workshop each participant will have created a new cast of characters, and an accordion book that tells a story focusing on one of them, with a plethora of new ideas waiting to be developed further.
