Welcome to ACCA’s Drawing Club! This series will push the boundaries of drawing, allowing you to explore new skills and styles whilst refining your technique. Each workshop is inspired by the exhibition and supported by a different artist facilitator.
Designed to drop in, join us for one session or all four. Perfect for educators and life long learners alike. No prior experience needed. This workshop series is open to the general public and teachers. The session will also feature an introduction to the exhibition and light refreshments will be provided.
All material provided. Participants are welcome to bring their own personal materials (e.g. visual diaries, pencils, etc.) if preferred.
As part of the summer season at ACCA, with exhibitions r e a: c l a i m e d and Tourmaline: Transcendent, ACCA is pleased to announce the first session in our new series, Body Positive Life Drawing with Frances Cannon.
Frances Cannon (they/them) is a lesbian multidisciplinary artist based in Melbourne/Naarm. They have practices in many mediums including illustration, oil painting, jewellery smithing and sculpture and have had many successful solo shows locally and internationally. Frances’ work examines the human form, religion, fairytales, queerness, and memory. Much of their work is political, as it often deals with marginalised identities and bodies, as well as current events. Frances regularly teaches workshops including life drawing, zine making and self portraiture, and are a co-director of Pink Ember Studio in Coburg.
This workshop is open to the general public and teachers. Queer, trans and gender diverse people and their allies are welcome to attend.
