Introduction to Tim:-
Timothy Foss’ award winning arts career spans 30 years making functional pottery, drawings, paintings, graphic novels, theater, dance, music, and illustration for clients from General Mills to US State Representative, Ilhan Omar. His most recent work is inspired by Buddhism, movement, and a desire to use art to connect us:-
“I love to imagine that we discovered how to draw when our ancestors’ feet made marks in the dirt as they danced. Even as beliefs might distance us in a highly virtual world, drawing at a large scale with our whole body can remind us we are related to each other through the fabric of our bones, materials, and movements.”

Material requirements for this Online Interactive Workshop:-
We will work large on a horizontal surface if possible. I recommend these materials specifically because of how they interact together, but feel free to include other drawings sticks (or colored chalk pastels) or other papers you might have lying around. Keep it simple!
NEWSPRINT PAD. As large as you can get; Tim suggests something along the lines of 61 x 91cms (24 x 36 inches) - High-quality option: a pad of medium YUPO paper
GRAPHITE STICK. (Not a pencil! Not charcoal!) Tim prefers the 9B GRAFCUBE by Caran D’ache: 15mm
Or, if you can’t find this brand, make sure yours is at least a 6B about 25mm thick and square.
MASKING TAPE to secure your paper (something easy to remove - artist tape or painters tape)
One or two sheets of Medium Grain Sandpaper
4 x STRONG BINDER CLIPS - and a wall you can nail into (for people working vertically!)
Optional:-
KNEADED ERASER
FIX-IT SPRAY
Equipment requirements for this Online Interactive Workshop:-
Table - large enough to fit your pad. Should be stable so it won’t wobble when you’re working
Floor - if you’re flexible and feel loose enough to move easily while squatting or on your knees
Wall - pad could be mounted with binder clips
