What to expect in Drawing: Making your Mark- Part II
You will be building on Part I, looking at a variety of exercises with expressive marks. Structure, and in particular grids of different sorts, will form the basis of part II.
Exercises are, again, designed to be stimulating, surprising, fun and to take your work in new directions.
Be interested, inquisitive, brave and involved. This will be reflected in your work.
Materials
The more materials you have the more things you have to play with. The list below is the minimum you need. Please don’t stop there. This list is for both part I and part II

- black acrylic paint, or house paint
