Day-to-day life in cities is linked to the non-stop, to going from here to there; it is a constant dialogue between architecture and the human landscape that inhabits it. A prior study of the sensations and rhythms that define the scene can influence the final result of the drawing.
In this workshop we will study the representation of what surrounds us, daring to experiment with other ways of representing space -beyond the rules of traditional perspective- with the intention of distorting, suggesting, moving and adapting our drawings to a more personal and subjective perception of what surrounds us.
The direct drawing, like jazz, is based on a fixed rhythmic section that we gradually change by introducing new notes, allowing ourselves to be carried away by improvisation and imagination and making us discover new ways of expression.
This challenge is, moreover, the most powerful tool of drawing “in situ”: everything can change in a matter of seconds and we are there to draw it.
Through various proposed exercises, we will try to find how to define with our drawings, aspects such as the sensation of space, constant movement and the passing of time or life.
