About the Presenter: As a Sneaky Artist, Nishant Jain sits in public spaces with a sketchbook and fountain pen, making secret drawings of city life. His art celebrates diversity in modern life and how cities enable complete strangers to coexist in harmony. Nishant’s work has been published in news media all over the world and recently he was artist-in-residence on the TransLink. These days, Nishant is drawing his newborn son every day, changing lots of diapers, and working on his first book.
In this One Day Workshop: Nishant will show pages from his sketchbooks to demonstrate and speak about how he learned to draw from observation in public spaces. This workshop will provide tips and techniques to make quick sketches of our outdoor environments. Participants will be led through exercises that help them make a visual journal of their lives and travels.
Participants should bring a sketchbook they can confidently hold, if required to draw on their feet. They should bring pens or pencils that they are comfortable using. We will begin in the usual art space of the Visual Arts room and if weather permits we will go outside to explore sketching outside around the bulding.
