By exploring form, shape and line through different media artists will gain a more wholistic understanding of observational and symbolic drawing, and it will be fun! We will thoroughly explore pencil techniques and drawing from life through projects that will help them see and measure better since observational drawing is about drawing what you see, not what you think you see. If artists want to we will also embroider. We will use clay, wire, collage, pencil and paint to make small creatures, mushrooms, fantastical sandwiches, animals and anime. The show also reflects a broader effort by Swiss museums to highlight the oeuvre of female masters of the last century in order to redress the gender gap in the arts.THURSDAYS: Drawing & Crafts / April 8, 15, 22, 29, May 6 (5 classes = $300 supplies included) The current co-curation by Holzer and Haldemann is memorable tribute to Bourgeois, an artist whose work spans decades and multiple formats. Lippard’s exhibition helped highlight the importance of less formal, more personal expression, an area where Bourgeois was at her best.
Bourgeois was already an established artist but did not quite fit in with the Abstract Expressionism that dominated American art at that time. A key turning point for Bourgeois came when critic and curator Lucy Lippard included her work in the Eccentric Abstraction exhibition in 1966.

Holzer’s artistic creations are almost always political. Or they can be fantastical images, such as a superhero flying in space. Louise Bourgeois' Nature Study (1984) was installed with other Bourgeois works in the huge central hall of Tate Modern when the museum opened with great fanfare in London in 2020.
