If you feel inspired by art around you and want to pick up a pencil and draw, come experience this art-inspired facilitated live sketching session. Join Smitha Shivaswamy, founder of Penciljam, at the exhibition, Hello & Goodbye: Postcards from the Early 20th Century, at a guided live sketching session.
The Live Sketching session will begin with an introduction to sketching and drawing from life. There will be a guided discussion followed by journalling which will explore how postcards make you feel, what the ideas presented in the collection at Hello & Goobye: Postcards from the Early 20th Century, and what they evoke in you. You will immerse yourself in the time period and sketch inspired by the postcard that speaks to you. You can finally post the postcard at our little postbox outside the gallery and it will get sent to your intended reader! Finally, you can finish by sharing and discussing your sketches and observations.
Whether you are an experienced sketcher or looking to begin your live sketching journey, this facilitated session offers an opportunity to learn new skills or hone existing ones, and become part of a community of sketchers! You can bring your own pencils and sketchbook or we will provide the materials for this session.
Please note: During the course of the day, we will conduct two sessions each lasting one hour. The first session begins at 11 am and the second one begins at 4 pm.
