Automatic Drawing is a workshop led by Ryan Price. It is open to all levels, and no drawing experience is required. The workshop costs $60 plus $5 in material fees, which must be paid in cash directly to the instructor on the day of the workshop.
Automatic drawing is a technique named by and commonly used by the Surrealists. It involves an artist moving a pen or drawing tool directly and randomly with no preconceived image or plan. The method is similar to what writers call stream of consciousness writing, allowing participants to let their subconscious flow through their hands.
Participants will be encouraged to draw freely and to unshackle themselves from hesitation caused by anxiety over a blank sheet. They will create many drawings using many different materials to get out of their heads and out of their comfort zones. They will learn about processes such as automatism, frottage, and responsive drawing. The drawing never has to be finished and can be left as a single deposit of personal memory. There is no right or wrong way to practice automatic drawing.
