Architectural Sketching Workshop for Youth

Drawing in the grounds of Marrickville library - learn to observe and use key architectural features of the library- such as geometric shapes, line, form and colour to simplify and help you explore your personal response to this space through the medium of pencil and pen.

Look at framing and composition and see how you can use architectural features to give definition to your drawings. Add a limited colour palette to your works to enhance them and link them strongly to place.

Observe architecture ‘in action’ as part of a community, record these traces of daily life.

Ages 13-24
