| DRAWING CIRCUS |
| Edward Stanton |
| Course Description |
| This is no ordinary figure drawing workshop. Each day features at least one performing artist in theatre or dance striking short and moving poses (costumed and nude) in a partially staged ephemeral atmosphere, with lighting that varies from right and colored to dark and dramatic. The workshop will be full of energy and music. Students will make drawings using traditional and not-so traditional materials, tools and techniques. In the end the student should have a good sized portfolio of new and unusual works including occasional three dimensional translations of those works to feed his or her imagination. Students will explore a broad base of personal ideas in a lively, sometimes noisy display of energy, generated by, among other things, a pleasant spectacle and a spirited participation. |
