Exploring the Process of Art Making Through Drawing and Painting with local artist Ben Murphy

Developing processes of idea generation are essential for developing artists. It involves introspection, brainstorming, sketching and discussion. In this workshop students will learn techniques designed to prompt exploration in image making. Students will use sketching as the primary method of image development and learn foundational principles of drawing. These drawings will be used to complete a final painting project.
