Obiettivo del corso: The idea of this course is to try to draw what we see and not what we believe that we should see. This means to open our eyes to drawing by using any means of line, colour or pattern to describe the objects and surfaces directly in front of us without any preconceived notions of what a drawing should be like. Rivolto a: Anyone.
