Drawing Tools
March 25 & 26, 2020
Presented as part of the Drawing Research Residency in partnership with the Paris College of Art.
Instructors: Chloe Briggs and Véronique Devoldère
The L'AiR Arts residents are invited to the studios of Paris College of Art (PCA) for a drawing workshop using experimental tools developed and created by the Masters in Drawing students.
The aim of this workshop is to immerse participants in a sensorial and physical experience in order to think about the body and gesture in the act of drawing. Participants will be invited to test, play with, and explore analogue and digital drawing tools designed and instructed by PCA students. They will discover the possibilities of the body - enhanced or restricted by the tool - to make unexpected drawings.
The questions we hope to raise by using the tools are:

The questions we hope to raise by using the tools are:
- What was involved in our choice of different tools to draw with?
- What did the drawing tool achieve the artist cannot and vice-versa?
- What is the role of maker who creates the tool and their instructions in terms of authorship of the final drawing?
- How does the tool affect mark-making, is the human still (more?) present?

Drawing My Body / My Body Drawing
16:00 - 18:00, April 10, 2019 Presented as part of the Drawing Research Residency in partnership with the Paris College of Art. Instructors: Chloe Briggs and Véronique Devoldère The aim of the workshop is to immerse participants in a sensory exploration of drawing - touching both the confines and limits of their physical space. In the first reclining,‘blind’, physical place participants are encouraged to work from their interior world. When they finally stand, they are made aware of a conscious position where their body is in full control. The questions that we hope to raise about an embodied experience of drawing are: How much of your body do you use when drawing? What is your particular mind-body dynamic when making a drawing image? What qualities in drawing differ between a ‘blind’, ‘felt’ mark and a consciously directed line? How does sound affect the senses particularly when drawing? The workshop will take place during the Open Studios event and will feature an Exhibition of works by artists-in-residence. Location: FIAP Paris 30 rue Cabanis, Paris 14 M°6 Glacière ou St-Jacques |
