Explore the practice of drawing as a way to heighten creativity, play with ideas and concepts, creatively solve problems, and have fun! Led by Austin artist and illustrator, Amitai (Ami) Plasse, you'll discover multiple approaches for drawing to enhance your creative practice, regardless of “skill-level” or previous training (none required!!!).
Your guide, Ami, has been working as an artist and illustrator for decades, and began honing his skills in his native New York City, sketching fellow commuters on the subway. Ami now brings his live-drawing skills to Austin’s music venues, creative gatherings, conferences, and corporate events, capturing the energy and characters that animate the scenes of life.
Ami is founder of Gonzo Viz, a live-drawing and animation studio. He’s a big proponent of art as a community practice, and he leads workshops to help more people embrace art-making as a way of experiencing the world, honoring their visions, and connecting with creativity.
In Drawing as Creative Play, Ami will offer different approaches, exercises, and practices you can use to cultivate a low-stakes, high-enjoyment drawing practice that enhances creativity overall and helps you relate to the world in meaningful ways. We’ll practice various techniques and approaches together during the workshop, so bring paper or a sketch book and drawing utensils, as you like (nothing fancy required!).
