Upcoming Workshops

Charcoal and tape by Faryn Loskot

​Drawing Tools
postponed until 2021

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 next day, the workshop will be followed by an exhibition and reception.
​DAY 1 - WORKSHOP

​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:
  • 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?
​
​Will be dedicated to drawing sessions divided into 3 parts:
  1. Participants are invited to select an analogue drawing tool and the follow instructions for use written by the student who invented it. Participants are free to work with different tools throughout the workshop.
  2. Participants test drawing “machines” involving technology, designed by PCA students.
  3. Participants select a series of three to nine drawings (depending on the number of participants) to be edited for the exhibition in PCA Gallery Space.
​
​Location: Paris College of Art, 15 rue Fénelon, 75010 Paris France
DAY 2 - EXHIBITION (RE)Production

The exhibition will present the different tools, drawing instructions and selected outcome.
