Teacher Professional Development Workshop with Gary Chapman – CHARCOAL: Expressive Mark Making, A Painter’s Approach to Drawing on Friday, March 29, 2024 from 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
2024-03-29 08:00 - 15:00 | Huntsville Museum of Art, 300 Church Street S.W., Huntsville, AL, 35801, United States
In this teacher profession development workshop, you will explore charcoal as a drawing medium for expressive mark making. The goal is to develop a personal approach with loose and aggressive mark making and to combine additive and subtractive techniques using charcoal. While charcoal is the primary medium, teachers may find time to explore combining additional media such as conté crayon, spray paint, ink and gesso. The workshop focuses on mark making as it relates to abstraction and later teachers may opt to explore different ways these same techniques can be applied to observational drawing for a provocative fusion of abstraction and realism. Teachers will have the opportunity to develop their visual skills through hands-on two-dimensional techniques using various drawing tools. The workshop is presented in conjunction with the Visual Arts Achievement Program (February 25), Congressional Art Competition and Youth Art Month (February 25-March 31) exhibitions.
To register, email Mandy Durham, Museum Academy Assistant, mdurham@hsvmuseum.org.
