With ceramic surfaces in mind, students will explore drawing and mark making on papers. You will work with graphite and charcoal, inks, wax resist, frottage and some low-tech printmaking techniques such as mono-print and block printing. You will also experiment with making drawings that to project onto 2D shapes and 3D forms as a starting point for generating ideas. The aim is to help give a more exploratory approach to drawing and mark making i n ceramics and to help generate ideas through exploring materials as well as making observations from and responses to physical objects. Teaching will be by demonstrations, specific exercises and mini projects.
