simple, relaxed drawing sessions across london with artist vianne furey.
why?
When was the last time you scribbled on a piece of paper? No pressure for a masterpiece, just lines. Many of us associate it with school: we might think of how we ‘grew out’ of messy creativity and the joy of playing with colours and shapes ‘just because’.
Draw With Vianne is a mission to bring this back. Since we all grew up, research has shown that drawing not only provides us with a screen-free, sociable activity, but also improves our neurological and physical health. Making art alters our brain chemistry, enhancing cognitive function and resilience, as well as normalising our heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol levels.
So, where do we start? We keep it simple: it’s just you and a pencil.
what will we do?
Sessions begin with a slow down activity: usually in the form of continuous line or bilateral (both hands) drawing. This allows us to settle into the session, and start to get the communication between our hands and our brains going.
We'll then focus on creating a larger piece with an emphasis on experimentation and play with our materials. This can take the form of bigger drawings in oil pastels or charcoal, paper collage or even weaving!
The focus of each session is on the joy to be found in the process of making (rather than the result).
