"cease(less)" is a exhibit by K. Pershon that examines ADHD and emotional regulation. The work features wave photography taken at Lake Michigan during the frigid winter months.
"I am struck by the waves. I am swept off the shore into the waters of emotional upheaval, unable to find my footing even though still shallow enough to stand. I kick my feet and gulp for air as anger, frustration, and anxiety hit with a crash and pull me under. I know my gasps are extraneous but knowing doesn’t stop the feelings of panic over the loss of control. I am also well aware of the absurdity; drowning in the shallow end of my emotions."
— K. Pershon

Life Drawing - Studio Evening
|
|
|
Tuesday, June 21st from 6:00PM - 9:00PM
|
|
We invite you to join us for Life Drawing Studio with Cultivate. We are so excited to draw and work with you.This evening is for beginning to advanced artists as we draw our live model. Every session begins with 20 minutes of gesture drawing. If unfamiliar, these are poses that are quick and meant for warming up. Following gestures, the model will pose for 10 and 20-minute increments. Our educator, Shannon Mack, will conduct one complete demonstration each session and is happy to provide any further guidance.
We will supply large format paper, graphite pencils, charcoal, and masonite boards for drawing. We invite you to bring your sketchbook, drawing materials of choice, and easel if you would like.
Studying the figure is a great opportunity to sharpen observational skills and to capture anatomy with self-expression and intuition.
Note: for these events at the DAAC, our model will be wearing clothes.
