Our 2B monthly workshop 

UNLOCK YOUR HIDDEN DRAWER!
Picture

​We are excited to invite you to a very fun drawing workshop, led by FAB – Fava, Acevedo & Brew. The workshop is linked to our forthcoming publication Unlock your Hidden Drawer! 


In this workshop we will share our best Unlocking exercises.

Tickets are £15. As usual we want everyone to be able to attend so please contact us if you would like to apply for a free or reduced price ticket, at [email protected]

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/140995207461

The book, and workshop, are for everyone: people who have not drawn since they were children,  as well as those who desire to draw in new ways, and educators wanting to share the joy of drawing and to help people unlock their drawers.
​

The 90 minute 2B session will start with our monthly catch-up / sharing for all, for us to check in and update one another on e.g. our new ways of teaching online, the challenges of Covid and lockdowns. Then FAB will endeavour to give you a very fun drawing workshop, reconnecting with your child self and drawing for joy.

As usual, there will be an optional follow-on session, for those who want more time. ​

We welcome your contributions, and will credit you for any Unlocking Drawers exercises we publish in the book.

Regards
2B Team, TtD



January 2021 - Our 2B monthly workshop was on Vaccine Hesitancy, with special guest Dr Angela Hodgson-Teall. For privacy we do not record the session, however we are producing a booklet based on the session. 


2B Drawing Changes Workshop

Noon - 3pm GMT

by Special Guest Sarita Chouhan

Drawing: Seed/ Core Within
exploring rhythm and repetition
​​
​We were delighted to have Sarita Chouhan as our monthly special guest, to lead a drawing workshop. Sarita Chouhan is a visual artist, and her art practice is self-exploratory, focusing on mind, body and the space within and without; the complexity and the inter-connectedness. Her interest in mysticism, spirituality and ecology all coalesce into forms she creates- a feminine landscape that has its seeds from yoga and tantra and her travels in nature.  Sarita lives in Mumbai where she practices art and has been teaching virtually art to children in the pandemic times.

​Sarita Chouhan (Bio)
 
Sarita Chouhan is a visual artist, and her art practice is self-exploratory, focusing on mind, body and the space within and without; the complexity and the inter-connectedness. Her works speak of the impermanence, of changing of form to formlessness, the essence, the energy in everything. Lines, dots, dashes, symbols from nature like a leaf or a seed, or geometrical abstractions- they all create a landscape here mirroring microcosm and macrocosm.
 Her interest in mysticism, spirituality and ecology all coalesce into forms she creates- a feminine landscape that has its seeds from yoga and tantra and her travels in nature. Her inter-disciplinary art practice is primarily drawing based, exploring lines and forms through thread work, drawing, painting, photography, videos, installations and collaborations. Sarita loves to read and write poetry and her art works and poems have been published in Hakara Journal, Muse India and Indiaree Journal. Sarita has presented her works in solos and group exhibitions.
 In 2019, she participated in WAA residency, Mumbai and artists and poets residency in Uzbekistan. Her ongoing collaborative work with French butoh dancer Lucie Betz was part of Butoh video festival, Paris in 2011 and 2019 ‘blooming ways’ with Cello player Genevieve Megier and Lucie Betz was exhibited and performed in Freiburg. She participated in Kala Ghoda Festival, Mumbai in 2006 and created an audio-visual installation “Everywhere is green…Even in my dreams” on ecology. In 2004, her installation on the theme of peace and inter faith was part of World Social Forum. 
 Sarita lives in Mumbai where she practices art and has been teaching virtually art to children in the pandemic times.

Free Taster of Drawing Breath workshop on Sunday 18th October at 2B:

Drawing Breath - with Hameed, Freedman & Brew

This workshop brings attention to our breath - to the physical act of breathing and to what being able to breathe means to each of us. Led by Yoga teacher Ambreen Hameed, director Natasha Freedman and artist Angie Brew, the session involves breathing and drawing.

You will need: paper and pencil.

Drawing Breath is part of a wider project to develop an under-represented youth voice around social justice, the environment and our right to breathe clean air. Natasha and Angie have collaborated on previous Thinking through Drawing workshops, including at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC.

Below are three breath exercises offered by Hameed. We invite you to draw along as you do the breath exercises.
