Animated by Luan Banzai and followed by an aperitif

DESCRIPTION
We may not all be cartoonists, but we all have the ability to express ourselves visually. Visual expression exists even before speech, but it loses its power once we begin to judge the way we express ourselves. This workshop proposes experimental exercises related to drawing and painting with the goal of freeing the mind and bringing out sensations on paper. As a result, an emotional awareness develops and a sense of soothing well-being can take place.

PRACTICES ADDRESSED IN THE WORKSHOP
The practices take place around drawing and painting through different individual and group dynamics. Participants are invited to draw with the hand they are not used to using. The workshop ends with an exhibition of the works produced and a small round table discussion on the experiences.

MATERIALS AT DISPOSAL
Charcoal, pencil, watercolor, neo-color, felt pen, acrylic, among others; paper in various formats.
