Join us for a drawing art hive with Mélanie Myers!
"Simulating movement in drawing"
In this art hive, participants can explore drawing intuitively and dynamically, reworking traditional genre and landscape scenes from the late 19th century. The exercises, accessible to all drawing levels, simulate movement and give direction to static works, and allow participants to reflect on the images generated by art's descriptive vocabulary. This art hive event is part of Mélanie Myers's solo exhibition 'Earthworks', on at the McClure Gallery from May 2 to June 7, 2025. All materials provided. No registration necessary. Everyone is welcome!
