Hello everyone,
After working as a practicing artist for 20 years, I have yet to teach
a class. I have just been asked to teach a drawing course, and would
like to rise to the challenge.
The course is a non-traditional class, focusing on the meditative
aspects of drawing. In other word's, drawing without anxiety, more as
a ritual to get at some deeper meaning. Some kind of means of
creative flow.
We are assuming no previous background in drawing or art, only a
desire to enrich one's life.
I am calling on you to help me, as the even the idea of teaching a
class is enough to give ME anxiety.
Are any of you willing to share some drawing exercises (beyond the
ones we all know), that were particularly successful with your
students? Something along the lines of the drawing ritual as a means
of self discovery/relaxation?
Thank you,
Patty
