Cath Appleton - Drawing a Day Workshop

02/07/2020 09:00 Room 2 #addcpiA Drawing a Day is both hugely useful in terms of developing creative skills, establishing a unique mark making vocabulary and a way to exercise the creative part of the brain. To have the discipline to do a drawing every day is an extremely challenging thing to do. In this workshop I introduce the concept of developing a daily creative practice and discuss the benefits of having a collection of books filled with drawings, paintings and creative ideas. The workshop begins with a look at other artists explorations in a Drawing a Day (there are a number) and I share some of their work as well as my own. I will talk about their ideas of what to produce and suggest ways of drawing, painting or photographing art journals. Illustration has become an important part of Cath Appleton's work and a number of years ago she started the disciplined journey of producing a Drawing a Day. Through Cath’s background in art, digital design and visual communication she brings an understanding of creative exploration to individual story telling. The real focus of the workshop will also be devoted to practical exploration using drawing, painting and/or mark making. Designed for both non creatives and experienced artists the approach is fun and more about the process than the result. Participants of the workshop will need to bring drawing paper and mark making tools such as pens, pencils, charcoal and/or paint, a teabag and water. It is also advisable but not essential to bring a cheap pocket-sized or larger notebook that can be used to start a visual diary.02/07/2020 09:00 2号会议室 #addcpiA “每日一画（Drawing a Day）”在培养创作技能、构建专属笔触创作语汇以及锻炼大脑创意区域等方面均具有极高价值。坚持每日完成一幅绘画的自律行为，实则极具挑战性。本次工作坊中，我将先介绍开展日常创作实践的理念，并探讨收纳各类绘画、作品与创意灵感的作品集所能带来的益处。工作坊伊始，我将梳理其他创作者在“每日一画”项目中的探索实践（此类项目为数不少），同时分享他们与我本人的相关创作作品。我会讲解他们的创作选题思路，并提供绘制、创作艺术手账或摄影记录的相关方法。插画创作已成为凯丝·阿普尔顿（Cath Appleton）工作的重要组成部分，数年前她便开启了“每日一画”的自律创作之旅。凭借自身在艺术、数字设计与视觉传达领域的专业背景，她能够将创意探索的思路巧妙融入个人叙事之中。本次工作坊的核心将聚焦于运用绘画、创作笔触痕迹等方式开展的实操探索。本工作坊面向零基础创作爱好者与资深艺术家，整体氛围轻松有趣，更注重创作过程而非最终成果。参与本次工作坊的人员需自备绘画用纸与笔触创作工具，例如钢笔、铅笔、炭笔及/或颜料，同时需携带茶包与饮用水。此外，建议携带一款便携或大号的平价笔记本，用于开启视觉日记创作，此要求并非强制。
