Design Museum Academy Adult Workshop
Workshop: Architectural Drawing
Learn drawing techniques to capture details of architecture and sense of place on paper, inspired by our iconic building in this session led by artist and educator Wilson Yau.
What to expect
Join us for an outdoor session exploring architectural drawing. Learn how to use pencils and pens through a range of short tasks and drawing exercises, culminating in a final piece.
By the end of the workshop, you will have created a small portfolio of experimental and finished drawings and discovered more about the history and architecture of the Design Museum.
Learning outcomes:
• Improve observation skills and improve confidence in drawing
• Learn techniques to capture the details and context of a building
