    Additional information

    Simple tools can be powerful vehicles for artistic expression. Sensitively used, charcoal and graphite become antennae, sensory extensions, and seismographs of our attention, tracing the very act of observation onto a surface. Join artist Joshua Hart in the Materials Lab to first familiarize ourselves with these materials and to develop a wide range of marks, starting with some collaborative gesture studies.
