In this famous quote, German-Swiss artist Paul Klee underlines the dynamic nature of the line as both the means to conduct the human eye across the space of an artwork and to playfully engage our imagination in the many possibilities that emerge when we simply take a line out for a walk.

Drawing is often not recognised as a fully-developed form of art like painting or sculpture. Nevertheless, as an artform in its own right, drawing offers a wide variety of artistic and therapeutic possibilities which should not be underestimated.

what will we learn?

This short course provides seven imaginative ways of using the line that will stimulate your inner Klee while giving confidence in your drawing skills. The course from line to surface, thinking to feeling, with an smooth transformation that will open up the world of drawing to you in a new way.

We also touch on some of the therapeutic indications for different forms of drawing.
