A drawing circus reflects the attitude about the studio that states it is in an environment actively seeking new ideas using, experimentation and peer example. Students will explore a broad base of personal ideas in a lively, sometimes noisy display of energy, generated by, among other things, a pleasant spectacle and a spirited participation. In order to make the most effective work possible they will become familiar traditional and non-traditional media. Instruction is on an individual basis in order to encourage the development of a vision that can see possibilities.
Participants remark that it changes the way they see the world. The Drawing Circus is designed for anyone who has made a commitment to art regardless of his or her notion of the particular art they would like to make. In the end, it is hoped that the participant will know as much as what they don’t want too do as what they do want to doubt, the choice will be made from an informed position.
