Sketchbook Therapy

Judith Kunzlé has been drawing all her life. She is well known for her work of Cook Islands dancers, which are all based on sketches. Judith has specialised in portraying the action, she explores the movement of dancers, life animals, or of breaking waves. Her illustrations of the local flora for the Cook Islands Natural Heritage Trust have been done from fresh plants and by studying their natural form in the field.

Atiu is Judith’s favourite place for drawing and painting, and she would like to share the fun and challenges of investigating nature with pen and paper. In six sessions, she will introduce the key elements of drawing, including the human figure, and show fresh approaches to sketching. The ways of looking, inspecting and expressing what we see, and how to gather information for future art work, will be discussed and explored.
