Course Description

Open to beginners, intermediate, and advanced drawers alike, this course will focus on evolving your understanding of the drawing process by breaking down habitual assumptions between what we see, what we think we see, and the ways we use our body while drawing. We’ll be using a range of fun exercises to investigate how we experience, understand, and draw form; demonstrate the role our memories and predictive thinking plays in the process; and use playful techniques to challenge how we traditionally use our body, hands, and arms while we draw. This course will help you advance your ability to draw from visual interpretation to paper, while also helping you play with your own personal expression as an artist.

Dionis Carter

Dionis Carter is an illustrator, textile designer, and photographer. She graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2016 with a BFA in Fibers and uses traditional and non-traditional drawing, fiber, and sculptural processes. Her designs, though informed by history and tradition, are inspired by nature and issues in contemporary society, such as environmentalism, empathy, apathy, and human identity. Raised in both the woodlands of Sherborn and on the shores of Nantucket Island, she grew up infatuated with the natural world. She has a fascination for the patterns she sees in nature and society, and she hopes to incorporate travel into her work as a way to experience nature, history, and art around the world. She currently teaches stained glass and drawing workshops at the AAN.
