Each day will begin with either a slide talk or a guided conversation exploring issues like:

-visual confidence
-the meaning of simplification
-the shaping and reshaping expectations
-where to begin and how to begin
-what matters on paper

Followed by a sequence of guided exercises intended as tools for carrying back to your workaday studio lives. This is not about recipes nor techniques but rather, addressing the evolution and structure of your own visual literacy. Materials will be pencils and paper and a few other materials for collage.
