Come join us for this two-hour life-drawing session where you can capture the dynamic beauty of powwow dances and their regalia on your own paper. Participants will bring their own material and work with art facilitators to create drawings that capture both the movement of the dancers and their regalia.
Suitable intermediate to advanced artists. Bring your favourite materials along to participate. Some supplies will be offered to those that do not have any on hand.
Free to participate! All attendees must be there to draw.
If you have any question about our Powwow Life-Drawing sessions, please email indigenousarts@nac-cna.ca.
