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.

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?
