Can a pen be used as glasses? Can we sharpen attention like a pencil?\u00a0<\/em>R\u00e1n leads the participants through various strange and fun exercises and projects that she herself uses to sharpen her senses and document daily life and the environment in words and pictures. Here it’s not about drawing well, but about looking and listening through the pencil.<\/h3>\n

The course includes presentation of several professional doodlers and their works, exercises in touch drawing (at three levels of difficulty), micro-courses in spy drawing, autobiographical character creation as well as drawing and imagination games that can be used in your own sketchbook and diary writing.<\/p>\n
