Drawing Into Space with Melissa Pierce Murray

By Melissa Pierce Murray

This was the final of four sessions in which we explored links between objects and drawings.

To introduce the session, I had students recall previous sessions Drawing with Objects, when they made compositions using steel, wood, glass and stones, and how subsequently these ideas influenced their Inky Objects drawings.

In this session, I invited students to create three-dimensional drawings from tape, string and paper, using the entire room as our canvas.
