Think Big, Draw Big

Mixed Media Drawing

Make a date with a friend and explore drawing randomly and intuitively, together. This time, we are inspired by the mural created by Z’otz* Collective installed onsite during their 2020 exhibition Ode to the Inside Out Questions. Use a mixture of drawing materials to add to one another’s drawings—or even draw over one. Experiment with symbols, pattern and shapes. See what magic happens when you share in creativity. Get playful with big pages of paper, some conventional drawing materials as well as anything that you can find around that can be used to draw.
