Half-Day Drawing Workshops with Laura Smith at the Courtauld Gallery

Laura is passionate about drawing from great works of art, believing that it slows down our looking and allows us to see more deeply into the mind of the artist. These workshops will begin with short introductions to the collection and suggestions for drawing subjects. Then, Laura will draw alongside students, sharing her approach to the activity.
