Art Club Intensive Drawing - Monster Edition

In this workshop you will explore ideas of hybridity, scale and narrative. In a fun and relaxed studio atmosphere, you will fuse together real and imagined elements to create your own monster compositions. Using multiple drawing techniques and materials, you will test your creative limits as your monsters come to life.
