Drawing Breath + Slow Looking | Exquisite Bodies For Educators

This hands-on workshop will provide experimental strategies for exploring elements and principles through AGWA’s Drawing Breath + Slow Looking methodology.

Facilitated in participatory exhibition Exquisite Bodies, the workshop invites educators to engage with their own arts practice through a series of creative prompts and critical discussion.
