Would you like to learn how to draw or pursue the use of unfamiliar materials? This workshop is for everyone regardless of experience. When participating in the drawing process, many people worry about how the final product will look and sacrifice exploration.
This workshop encourages you to have fun while using pencil, charcoal, pen and ink, and conte crayon, in addition to exploring different surfaces such as smooth, textured, and colored papers of many different weights.
This workshop answers the question, “what is this for?” We’ll look at drawings from other cultures done in many mediums and will work in the studio utilizing basic shapes for inspiration. Composition and perspective are discussed and you’ll have a choice of going outside for further exploration or continuing their work in the studio.

MJ Levy Dickson explores global interconnectedness through her artwork and has discovered a common denominator in the natural world, through touch, color, light, mood, and subject that transcend conventional land and water boundaries. Recently, she was artist-in-residence at the Perkins School for the Blind and traveled to Iceland and the Caribbean to exhibit her work. She hopes to use her environmentally-focused pieces to communicate the importance of preserving our beautiful natural surroundings worldwide.
Dickson studied with Jan Cox while in the Diploma Program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and has a BFA from Tufts University, as well as an MFA in Art Education from Boston University. She taught at MIT, the Boston Architectural Center, Lesley University, and the Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts, as well as privately with all age groups. Dickson works with a variety of mediums in her paintings and drawings to convey a composite relationship between mood and subject. www.mjlevydickson.com www.mjlevydickson.com.
