Integral Drawing: Finding a Voice Through Sketching (On Campus, 10/16/20 - 10/18/20)
This 3-day in-person workshop will operate like a visiting artist seminar, starting with a presentation of my own drawing work which includes sketchbooks, large-scale drawings, and preparatory drawings for sculpture. Still apparent in my work is the formative influence of comic books. I will use this as a relatable example in teaching students how to draw from their own interests and influences and how to transform that into a personal voice. The goal of the class is for students to go beyond imitation and learn techniques for developing a unique engagement with sketching and drawing so that their ideas can flow freely.
We will look a range of fine and graphic artists such as: Raymond Pettibon, George Grosz, Käthe Kollwitz, Albrech Durer, Jim Shaw, Mobius, Steve Ditco, Robert Smithson, Kiki Smith, Martin Puryear, Ellen Gallagher, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, etc.

Instructor: Daniele Frazier
Daniele Frazier is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Originally from Mill Valley, California, she graduated from the Cooper Union School of Art in 2007 where she received the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Trust Award. Daniele has created five public artworks and maintains a studio where she makes sculptures and drawings. Her process intersects her interest in formal aesthetics with a research-based and socially-engaged practice. She focuses on themes of ecology, climate change, natural history, art history, and social critique. Daniele’s work humorously addresses the politics inherent to public art itself such as gender inequality, the difference between public and private space, and the definition of ownership.
Daniele has worked extensively with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and her work has been shown at Guild & Greyshkul, Museum 52, Rivington Arms, Ritter Zamet, Socrates Sculpture Park, and Gavin Brown’s Passerby, among others.
