Unlock Your Creativity: Drawing Workshop to See and Create.

"Welcome. Let me warn you, this workshop isn’t like those YouTube courses where you watch someone draw perfectly and just think, ‘I wish I could do that.’ Here at the 90 Millas Art Space Drawing Workshop, we’re going to work with you so that you don’t just learn to draw… but learn to see. And to really see.

The history of drawing has accompanied the development of humanity from its beginnings, becoming one of the oldest and most powerful forms of artistic expression. From the earliest representations to the avant-garde movements of the 20th century, drawing has been a silent witness to the evolution of art and human thought.

In this first week, we will focus on a fundamental exercise for developing creativity and training visual memory: drawing objects from memory. 

This week, the focus will be on drawing while keeping your gaze fixed on the object, without looking at the paper. The aim of this exercise is to strengthen the connection between the eye and the hand, developing a more intuitive and fluid stroke. 

This week, the exercise involves drawing the hand opposite to the one you usually use. This challenge encourages greater attention to detail and helps you step out of your comfort zone, requiring you to observe more closely and control your movement with greater care.

Class Description
This week's exercise involves drawing an object without lifting the pencil from the paper. This technique, known as "continuous contour," helps develop stroke fluidity and an understanding of form in a single movement.

Class Description
This week focuses on the exercise of drawing a hand using the opposite hand to your dominant one. The goal is to improve coordination, enhance observation skills, and break free from the routines established by using your usual drawing hand.

Class Description
This week's exercise involves drawing objects placed in an inverted position. Drawing in this way helps you perceive shapes and lines abstractly, moving away from preconceived ideas about what you are drawing.

Class Description
This week's exercise focuses on exploring personal expression through your signature. The signature is a unique mark that represents your artistic identity, and practising it can help you develop a distinctive style.

Class Description
This week's exercise involves drawing simultaneously with both hands. This helps stimulate both hemispheres of the brain and improve coordination.

Class Description
This week's exercise focuses on drawing the empty or negative space around objects. This technique helps change the way we perceive composition and allows us to see objects in their context.

Class Description
This week's exercise involves drawing an object by connecting key points. This technique helps simplify complex shapes and allows you to visualise the underlying structure of objects.

Class Description
This week, we will use ink instead of a pencil for drawing. Ink does not allow for corrections, making this exercise effective for improving precision and quick decision-making in drawing.

Class Description
The final exercise of the course involves attempting to draw a perfect circle freehand, without the help of any tools. Although it may seem simple, it requires great stroke control and a lot of patience.

And so we come to the end of this drawing workshop at 90 Millas Art Space. What you’ve experienced here wasn’t just a series of exercises. You’ve opened your eyes to a new way of seeing and creating.
