Workshop fee: $45
About the artist: www.pattieleebecker.com

Course Description and Details

The Italian designer, educator, and artist Bruno Munari created a series of workshops to help children and adults alike understand basic theories and artistic practices. In this workshop, we focus on his Drawing a Tree workshop. Each person will create a large-scale finished artwork based on his principle that every tree is made up of a series of Y’s that get perpetually thinner as the tree spans outwards.

Through collage and drawing we will create an image of a tree that is founded on this principle. We will explore ways to expound upon this principle and how to embellish and complicate this basic rule through both drawing and material.

Materials used will be paper (ideally 22" x 30", but not smaller than 18" x 26"), pens, markers, pencils, construction paper, magazines, and other various materials that can be used in 2D collage.
