In this workshop led by UAE Unlimited artist, Zara Mahmood. Participants will be asked to explore the outdoor space of Jameel Arts Centre and create three drawings. Using their hands as a viewfinder, they will be able to zoom in on certain aspects of their environment and focus on the compositional component of drawing. They will be asked to draw from observation and explore light and shadow on architectural elements, using media of different values ranging from white to black which can be used to represent the tonal palette of the area of study.
