DrawNow! Online! with The Studio Museum in Harlem

Join us for a two-part drawing workshop presented in partnership with The Studio Museum in Harlem. Inspired by the current exhibition David Hammons: Body Prints, 1968-1979, the workshops will explore Hammons's body prints, a pivotal series of monoprints and collages in which the artist used the body as both a drawing tool and printing plate to explore performative, unconventional forms of image making.

In this first workshop, teaching artist Blake Paskal will lead an interactive conversation about Hammons’s body prints. Participants will discuss the artist’s practice of embodiment and the ways in which Hammons’s application of his own body (and the abstraction and morphing of it) created striking statements about race in America. Participants will then further explore these ideas through a series of movement-based prompts that encourage using the body as a drawing tool.
