The Drawing Lab Installation
Bring the Drawing Lab to your venue! The Drawing Lab is an interactive installation created by artist Deborah Putnoi. It is a participatory space to engage people with the drawing process. A series of drawing stations provide new and unexpected ways to engage your "drawing mind," such as experimentation with mark making, drawing to music, training the eye to observe the world, and awakening all of the senses through drawing. Visitors add drawings to a Community Drawing Wall. The Drawing Lab is a dynamic work in process, responding to each venue and to the specific needs of the communities it serves.
Process Over Product
There are no mistakes! With an emphasis on PROCESS over Product you will learn to still your critical voices and experiment with drawing in new ways. Allowing for unknown outcomes and an emphasis on following one's intuitive line, The Drawing Lab, is the antidote to perfectionism.
Build Community
The Drawing Lab teaches you how to use drawing to build stronger communities in schools, business and families. Drawing together and collaborating in the drawing process allows for stronger bonds to grow among the individuals in a group.
Express Yourself
Drawings are infinite. We each have a one of a kind Drawing Mind and in the Drawing Lab you can discover the way that YOU make a mark. How do your emotions inform drawing? How can you use your marks to express what can't be spoken? Explore different materials and ways to make a drawing.
One pencil, infinite possibilities.
Art can change your life if you let it. Stay informed about Art For A Change offerings!
Mindfulness: Sensory Exploration
The Drawing Lab builds sensory awareness and connection. How do you draw a smell just using your marks? How do you draw a taste? Building and honing one's observation skills through drawing, The Drawing Lab introduces participants to mindfulness through drawing.
Visual Thinking: Figuring Things Out
Whether you are in a classroom or a boardroom or alone in your bedroom, drawing can help you figure things out. Mapping out ideas, designing spaces, coming up with the solution to a problem, visual thinking is an essential skill in this modern age. The Drawing Lab challenges the participant with visual thinking experiments.
Why Do Humans Draw?
Many have a narrow definition of what drawing is or can be. Central to the Drawing Lab is exploring the many ways and reasons why humans draw. From early cave drawings to patent drawings and a coach's drawing of a play on the field, drawing is everywhere.
