Plan of the Day

People love to draw. People who think they don’t know how to draw love it too, if they are given the chance. Drawing is mostly inexpensive, transportable, and can be made anywhere without much time or many resources. An artist and/or designer can keep drawing when all other opportunities to make work are limited. To know that you can always draw is liberating to a creative person.

Sharing the experience of drawing with others creates energy in a room. The particular type of concentration and focus on looking that drawing demands can generate a silence charged with activity and life. Drawing alongside a child is a delight – it reminds us what a pleasure it is to make marks and is an example of how to lose some self-consciousness that can make images rigid and lifeless; even if it is only for a moment.

After a day of drawing you feel good, like after exercise or falling in love – your senses are heightened and the world looks different.

The Drawing is Free sessions were first proposed at Paris College of Art as a way of bringing the school community together – students, faculty, administration, and support staff to draw. This invitation was extended to the wider public and friends and family of those connected to PCA. There is no teacher, but a theme sets the subject and rhythm of the drawing activities.

Free.
No experience necessary.
All ages welcome.
This event is open to the public.
