The BIG DRAW-Ruskin and the South Florida Museum will host a free art workshop on Saturday, October 24 from 3:30-6:30pm at Bishop Planetarium in the South Florida Museum (201 10th St. Bradenton Florida 34205). The event is free and open to the public and is one in a series of month long events in October that celebrate drawing, invention and imagination . To reserve a space, participants may email info@bigdrawruskin, subject Planetarium Workshop, or call the Ruskin Branch Library (Hillsborough Cty) (813) 273-3652)
Taught by BIGDRAW visiting artists and Ringling College of Art & Design faculty Claudia Cumbie-Jones & Lance Ford Jones, "Extreme Perspectives: Drawing for the Big Dome" will explore perspective beyond the traditional one, two, and three-point techniques, and will survey “distorted” drawings (anamorphic projection, distorted grid, fisheye, etc) and focus on fisheye distortion for full Dome projection. There will be time for workshop participants to create images that will be projected onto the planetarium dome. Drawing materials are provided.
