Blackline Drawing and Perspective-Taking

Blackline Drawing and Perspective-Taking

We enter the school year filled with assumptions – about each other, about ourselves, and about the world. How might the arts help us bring those assumptions forward – and to begin reimagining those possibilities?

In this short video, Nicole Simpson-Tanner talks with Kathryn Myers about how she is using observational drawing to introduce perspective-taking and engage the kind of metaphorical thinking that the studio encourages.

This is the second video of our new series, Setting the Table. The first, focusing on watercolors, is found here. Let us know what you think of these films. If you find them valuable, be sure to share them with your colleagues.
