Apr 5    Chrysalis Art Foundation-Reductive/Subtractive Drawing

Reductive/Subtractive Drawing
Two-Session Class
Saturday March 29 & April 5, 2-6 PM


“Reductive” drawing starts by covering an entire sheet with charcoal. Using different type erasers, the student removes elements that belong in the finished piece. It's a different style of drawing that’s very effective. Don't worry, if you erase too much, you can always apply more charcoal. In this class the student learns to control the eraser edge, producing the lines needed to create the drawing.

No previous experience necessary. Instructed by San Antonio artist James Saldivar, James views reductive drawing as comparable to living life He states, "We create a lot of background in our life. How wonderful it would be to use an eraser to take out those parts that didn’t work, are too dark, or smear our lives, leaving the best image we can create." Supply list and registration form available online at http://chrysalisartfoundation.org/events/workshops-classes. Class fee $95.00.
