Drawing from knowledge, memory and imagination as reference, participants will create a drawing per minute as a loosening-up exercise. The running theme of the session is “all that we are grateful for.”

Supplies: 100 sheets of paper (any size), drawing materials that allow for quick, loose lines; consider ink, oil stick and/or soft graphite pencils.

This event is co-sponsored by SVA’s Division of Continuing Education and BFA Visual and Critical Studies.

Faculty: Peter Hristoff, fine artist
