Draw@MOCA: Namwon Choi

May 21, 2016
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

This workshop introduces natural solvent photo transfer technique as a means for building personal narrative on two-dimensional surface. By working in layers, you will incorporate photocopies, laser color prints and black and white toner-based original copies (not inkjet print) of photographs, drawings, text, personal writings on the surface of a paper. You will alternate between expressive creativity and strict editing of what we are making by disassembling and reassembling printed imagery of your materials and drawing media such as graphite, pastel, pen and ink and watercolor pencils. Bringing source materials such as printed imagery of you and your loved ones, your drawings, and personal writings is essential.
