Introduction:

This short course is designed for those who want to draw but aren’t sure where to start or perhaps you used to enjoy drawing but it’s been a while and you just need a refresher to get you started again.

Develop your drawing skills as we explore an array of drawing techniques and materials with a focus on line, texture, proportion and tone while immersed in a supportive and relaxed art studio environment. You will come away with greater confidence in your drawing abilities and some drawing exercises that can be repeated at home as you continue to hone your skills.

Tutor Profile:

Lucia Canuto

Lucia formally trained as a printmaker. Since graduating from the VCA in 2014, her work has expanded through the mediums of screen print, cyanotype, photography and drawing as well as experiments utilising both plant based and synthesised dyes. This process is somehow reminiscent of alchemy.

She is interested in language, translation and archival print materials; mainly newspapers and small publications. Her most recent body of work has been informed by Donna Haraway’s theory of Sympoiesis. That concerns itself with inter-species relationships and biodiversity.

Lucia is part of the Kunst collective who opened a community funded artist run initiative in Byron Bay last year, providing a space for local and interstate artists to exhibit.
