Overview

Join this Digital Studio session that captures the movement, rhythm, and energy of the party scene. Working with coloured paper and materials, students will explore dynamic compositions inspired by dance, atmosphere, and interaction. 

Taking inspiration from artists including Toulouse-Lautrec, Denzel Forrester, Doron Langberg, Christina Kimeze, and Auguste Rodin, this class invites you to experiment with colour, rhythm, and repetition. Expect a playful, expressive set-up, with technology used to create repeated figures and an elaborate scene to draw from. 

Guided by tutor Katy Papineau, students will explore how to draw movement in space, using expressive mark-making and tonal contrast to capture fleeting gestures and vivid environments. All levels welcome. 

Each Digital Studio session makes use of the School's multi-camera digital studio to create drawing-from-observation opportunities that are only possible online. Tutors offer guidance throughout to help students approach different poses and get the most out of each session. 

Please note: online models will not pose nude. Models in this series will be semi-clothed.
