Over five-month period drawing all-stars participants worked to build confidence in ideating, drafting, planning, executing, and completing works on paper, including a final artwork of their own design. Fellows participated in field trips and the opportunity to meet and learn from local artists, cultural workers and students at fine arts colleges. The cohort had their work on view in the drawing center's annual spring exhibition of student artwork.drawing all-stars centers experimentation, wit, play and abstract throughout our training sessions. Students learned watercolor techniques, how to use oil sticks and pan pastels, to draw from memory, imagination, and from reference. They also worked in teams, presented ideas, and made friends.
