"I show you my town"
An online free documentary drawing workshop with Matthias Beckmann
Aim of the workshop:
We will learn how to create an exciting graphic reportage with the means of drawing, using visual means that we know from the film, storyboard, and comic: sequence of images, change of perspective, zoom, picture of the total scene, detail, etc.
We draw in front of the subject without photographic aids and develop a documentary drawing series about a place that has a special meaning for us.
Process:
In the daily Zoom meeting conducted and mentored by Matthias Beckmann, he gives suggestions, and the course participants discuss their work. The participants work independently on their series of drawings and receive individual corrections.
Result:
Selected works from the workshop will be presented on a website, and a series of postcards will be made.
