Drawing Area

Visitors are invited to engage in the acts of careful observation and drawing, and to peruse resources related to the idea of “slow looking.”

“Slow Looking” at works from the Newcomb Art Collection

Here, viewers are encouraged to observe these works with a magnifying glass, to allow themselves to be drawn into the detailed works, to study the mark-making, tiny stitches, and multiple layers, both physical and visual.

Additional works are presented by artists with close ties to the Newcomb Art Department, with detailed biographies included in the wall text, bringing attention to yet more layers through which one can interpret and appreciate these works.
