About this Workshop:
Continuing from Experimental Drawing part I, this workshop delves deeper into the art of drawing. We will work further on our unique visual vocabulary as we tread the line between representation and abstraction. As we work through various exercises and prompts, participants will be encouraged to find new and bold ways of expressing themselves. As with part one of this class, we will use the elements of drawing and the principles of design as a guide. We will work with acrylic paint and water-soluble graphite.
Level: Intermediate – Prerequisite of Experimental Drawing I or similar drawing experience/working knowledge of using water soluble media is required.
Registration extended through June 30, 2024.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Priya Vadhyar (b. 1980, India) is a visual artist currently living in Ellicott City (MD). In her current work, Priya explores the manifestation of, what Loren Eiseley calls, one’s “interior geography,” and the self’s relationship with the sum of things. Her work is an inquiry into the nature of boundaries, and the revelations that lie in juxtapositions—something and nothing, form and formlessness, edge and void, known and unknown, stillness and chaos. Priya’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. She teaches workshops in addition to her studio practice. Learn more about her work at www.priyavadhyar.com.
“Priya is an excellent teacher who is obviously engaged with the current art world and dips back into history as well; her presentations were beyond excellent.”
