Queer Life Drawing

A life drawing session which focused on artistic freedom and exploring the queer experience through (crass) art exercises. The aim was to encourage play and creation through a number of absurd briefs that Dirty Draws hope would make you giggle.

High concepts, low brow –like soiled lingerie or Lambrini in a crystal goblet.

Each session ran along a theme, with the models’ poses reflecting the brief, incorporating props along with unusual art materials. Since Halloween was around the corner, the first session was based on the 7 deadly sins –expect rage, overindulgence and debauchery!

Your hosts are Maz (he/they) and Luke (he/him) are both artists working in Brum –Maz is a digital illustrator specialising in queer reshaping of mythology, fairy tale and lots and lots of body hair. Luke works mostly in pen & ink, exploring themes of queer ecology, liminal spaces and hyperreal pen work.

Instruction was given during the class and materials supplied, participants were welcome to bring their own tools should they like.
