SCHOOL OF TROC ~ Abstract Drawing Workshop with Shannon Syme

FREE WORKSHOP

Join us for an abstract drawing workshop with artist Shannon Syme.

This drawing class will consist of improvised drawing and responsive mark-making in real time. No artistic experience is necessary and all materials will be provided. Participants will explore how layering creates intersections of shape, colour, line, depth and texture, and be guided through exercises drawing from abstract references.
