Workshop – Life Drawing

Gallery, Nova School of Business and Economics 

Life Drawing workshop | Workshop de Desenho Vivo

During the month of May the Art&Craft Refúgio collective captured the diversity of the neighborhood through the individual traces of each one. Between pencils and brushes, they walked the streets, gardens and squares drawing neighbors, landscapes and animals. In this workshop the artists Alina Shpakova and Margarita Sharapova invite you to take a walk through the various points of the New Sbe campus and participate in this collection of collective looks through drawing.

Durante o mês de Maio o coletivo Art&Craft Refúgio captou a diversidade do Bairro através dos traços individuais de cada um. Entre lápis e pincéis, andaram pelas ruas, jardins e praças a desenhar vizinhos, paisagens e animais.

Neste workshop as artistas Alina Shpakova e Margarita Sharapova convidam a um passeio pelos vários pontos do campus da Nova Sbe e participar nesta recolha de olhares coletivos através do desenho.

In this 2-hour workshop you will have the opportunity to learn the printmaking process and participate to the creation of postcards and notebooks.

This workshop was created in the context of Largo Refugio, a project run by Largo Residencias. It will be led by a pair of instructors – an artist and a refugee.
