Conversations from the Abyss | SoA Workshop - Workshop 2

The School of Art actively hosts events and exhibitions by professional artists and students in several galleries on campus and virtually online. These events offer possibilities for teaching initiatives, research, and professional opportunities for our students. Many are organized in collaboration with other institutions across the country and in partnership with the Winnipeg art community.

Join School of Art Graduate student Timothy Brown for an interactive online workshop – Part of SoA Course FA 1990.

<h3>Influenced by the isolation created due to the Covid pandemic, Conversations from the Abyss explores the idea of reaching out from those spaces and communicating through the practice of drawing and writing.  Through these communicative acts, we create shared connections, which then affect us in meaningful ways. In Conversations from the Abyss, we will begin by developing inked drawings (figurative or abstract) as a reaction to our time spent in isolation.  From these drawings, we will create a short written response (it can be formal, it can be poetry, it can be anything in-between).  As we present our responses, each of us will begin to re-interpret those readings by adding more visual information to our own drawings.  With each reading, we will alter our work further.  By the last reading, our initial drawings will have been altered dramatically, creating a visual language built on the connections we have made with each other.</h3><h3>Materials</h3><ul><li>1-3 Ink pens of various sizes (Micron is preferable) $6.99 each at Artists Emporium</li><li>2-3 pieces of paper – 8.5x11” – 9x12” – Drawing pads $10-$20 at Artists Emporium</li><li>Pad of paper and pen for writing - $5-$10 at any office supply store</li></ul><h3></h3><p>Hosted by SoA Graduate student: Timothy Brown</p><p>________________</p><p></p><p>This workshop is part of the School of Art 2021 Symposium </p><p>Course FA 1990</p><p><em><strong>Where Do We Go From Here?
