Every year, the National Gallery of Ireland, together with dozens of museums, galleries, libraries, and cultural organisations all over the island of Ireland, encourages people to get drawing with a jam-packed day of free events for people of all ages.
This year at The Dock, we embarked on a giant drawing world of exploration with artist Andy Parsons. We tackled tasks like 'How can you make your hand bigger than your entire body?' or 'sketch a tree-sized leaf.'
The drawing workshop investigates size, scale, dimensions, and perspective. Families, artists, and children experimented with collage, charcoal, ink, and chalk on enormous sheets of paper, as well as sketching with bamboo sticks, creating an immersive room of drawings.
