Pose, Speak, Draw Figure Drawing Session

Pose, Speak, Draw is a unique session where, instead of a single model, everyone takes a turn posing (clothed), speaking, and drawing in a space built on trust, expression, and community.

Each participant holds a short pose for 2 and 5 minutes while sharing something personal with the group. As they speak, the rest of the room sketches, creating drawings that reflect both the pose and the moment being shared.

At the end of the session, there will be time to view each other’s artwork and engage in conversation sparked by the shared experience.

How it works!

1) Pose

Standing, sitting or even laying down. Maybe you're holding a prop? If you feel more comfortable with your back to everyone else, you can do that too :). Poses will range from 2-5 minutes.

2) Speak

You will fill out a short questionaire when you arrive with questions like "What's your background?", "What art do you create?", "What's something you've done that you're proud of", etc.

While posing, you can share your story. The facilitator will be there with your questionaire in case you need some help while posing.

3) Draw

While you pose and share, we will draw you. Hearing your story will be unique to each individual in the room. If there is something that resonates with someone, they may write it down and incorporate it into their sketch.

Please note that there will be two small dogs (Moose and Chip) at the event :).
