DrawNow! Online! with Teen Art Salon

October 28, 2021, 5:00pm

Alongside Teen Art Salon, young artists will use the sketchbook as a tool for experimentation, risk-taking, and reimagining. Featuring artworks from The Drawing Center’s current exhibition Ways of Seeing: Three Takes on the Jack Shear Drawing Collection, this workshop looks to the artist's sketchbook as cherished possession, visual diary and confidante.

Guided by teaching artists Isabella Bustamante and Aneesa Razak, participants will explore individual style, the search for inspiration, and spatial awareness on and/or across the page. Each participant will be given art prompts and exercises to deepen their conceptual and observational drawing skills in order to start reimagining the sketchbook as the foundation of an artistic practice.

Information will also be shared with participants on Drawing ALL-STARS, a new pilot program designed by Teen Art Salon in partnership with The Drawing Center.

Please note that participation in previous workshops is not required.

For ages 14-19, all levels of experience are welcomed.

  • Tips for a Successful Zoom Session
    • Log in 5-10 minutes before the workshop begins to avoid any technical delays.
    • Use a desktop or laptop for the best image quality. A tablet will also do, but on a smartphone, the image may be too small.
    • Make sure you have a stable wifi connection before the workshop begins
  • Documentation
