Folding Pages = Unfolding Sketches

INSTRUCTOR

Mário Linhares

DESCRIPTION

What if the art technique was not about the way we use the pencil, pen, brush or paint, but about how to use the sketchbook as a tool to experiment and test new solutions? This is the essence of Mário Linhares’ unique workshop. You will be challenged to use the sketchbook not as a paper pad but as an art book, where the most precious things will happen.  You will be invited to fold one page, and from that moment, you will be able to create three different sketches from one!
