Automatic Drawing Course (Online)
Tuesday 28th December 2021, 2-5pm GMT
Automatic drawing is about exploring the subconscious. It is one of the major contributions of the Surrealist movement to the Modern and Contemporary Art.
In this 3 hour course, Noriko will introduce work of automatic drawing by the Surrealists/Modern/Contemporary artists, psychics and spiritual artists, and her own experience on automatic drawing. Followed by a short meditation, you’ll be guided to create automatic drawings in black and white and then in colour. Noriko will also share blind contour drawing exercise as a tool to be present in the moment.
No artistic trainings or experiences required. Just be curious and enjoy the process of tapping into your subconscious mind!
This workshop will be held online via Zoom. Places are limited to 12.
