Drawing: The Meandering Line is an exciting 1-day Workshop all about using line in drawing. Students will learn how artists throughout history have used line to create and express. During the workshop students will practice contour line drawing of various subjects and use a variety of techniques and media to allow creativity to flourish all while developing foundational skills for their continued growth as artists.

Students will be given demonstrations in ink, marker, and graphite. The techniques and exercises in class will allow students to continue to practice independently using a variety of media and surfaces. The Arts of Asia and Arts of Oceania Galleries in the Denver Art Museum collections will be used to broaden student vision and explore possibilities with contour line.

What to Expect:

Students will be given a lecture on the use of line, look at examples, and practice several different exercises to develop sensitivity to line and the practical applications in the creation of art. Students will join the instructor in the DAM collections to practice the skills learned in the classroom setting.

Creating art is uniquely human. From Stone Age cave paintings to contemporary street art, creative expression is bound to the very essence of our humanity. In this three-session seminar, led by Denver Art Museum teaching specialist and art historian Molly Medakovich, explore the powerful roles and benefits of art in our lives. Through interactive lectures, group discussions, and dedicated time in the galleries, we’ll consider art as a vehicle for personal well-being and mindfulness, community healing and connection, and societal statements and provocation. Walk away with new perspectives on the museum’s global collections and your own relationship to art.
