Shut Up and Art: Hey, Eyes Up Here! (Blind Contour)
Details
Blind contour is a classic exercise where the artist picks a subject, any subject, and draws it. There's just one catch: YOU CAN'T LOOK DOWN AT YOUR PAPER.
Hand-eye coordination is a muscle all artists need to flex regularly, and an hour of blind contour drawing will give it a real workout!
Artists will start gathering at 10am in the VMFA cafe (we’ll have a sign) where we'll chat and socialize while waiting for everyone to arrive. At 10:30, we will head to a TBD gallery to shut up and make art. Afterwards, we'll debrief before adjourning.
Out of respect for museum policy, you may only use graphite in the galleries.
NOTE:
1. If you bring a large backpack, the museum will require you to wear it on your front. It's recommended you travel light.
2. VMFA allows guests to check out and use artist stools from the coat check station. Seating can be sparse in certain galleries.
3. No liquids in the galleries.
