How to Handle the Unexpected: Art Tutorial

David Choe dives into the spontaneous and unfiltered process of art-making, embracing the chaos and joy that comes with it. His journey begins with the playful declaration of fun and continues with a deep dive into shading techniques, ear creation, and the unpredictable narrative that shapes our artwork.
In this session, you'll learn how to apply shading techniques with simple dots, experiment with drawing unconventional ears, and transform a seemingly random collection of shapes into a coherent piece. Embrace the unexpected elements that emerge in your creative process.
As we navigate through our drawing, we'll encounter floating heads, feet in rainy weather, and even a mysterious hand emerging from a puddle. These elements remind us that art can reflect our deepest fears and highest joys. The process may feel like roller skating-unsteady and thrilling-but every fall is a step toward mastery.
We'll discuss the concept of voluntary amnesia, encouraging you to reset after a bad day and approach each new day with fresh eyes. This session is about feeling your way through the creative process rather than overthinking it. You'll be inspired to let go of perfectionism, embrace daily (or even up-to-the-minute) reminders to stay present, and accept that sometimes, mistakes lead to unexpected beauty.
Join us as we explore the simplicity and complexity of art, finding joy in red, white, and green, and ending on a note of laughter and reflection. Remember, every day is a brand-new day, a fresh canvas for your creativity.
