Why We Draw: An Exploration of Drawing
October 29th thru November 7th
This exhibition, open to all students, examined the different ways we as artists use drawing in our practices. Students were invited to submit work that ranged finished drawing pieces, research studies, sketchbook pages, text pieces, sculptural maquetes, digital media, and more. This show created more questions than answers.
A series of open drawing workshops and events were created and led by students of UNCG's Exhibitions and Public Practice class such as the Bizarre Drawing Tool Workshop Students gathered to make strange and unusual drawing tools from screws, drills, tape, rubber bands and anything else they could get their hands on.
The second workshop was the Postal Drawing Exchange Event in which drawings were created anonymously and sent to an unknown recipient.
