Join 2B Or Not 2B Collective for a fun and accessible life drawing session, inspired by surrealism, distortion, reflection in the V&A collection. Working with shadows, fabric and movement, a life model will create an array of weird and wonderful forms to inspire your drawings. There will be guidance throughout the session to help those who are feeling stuck or uninspired, perfect for everyone from the absolute beginner to the seasoned artist. 
 
 
The first session will be at 11:00 – 11:45, with a second session at 13:00 – 13:45. Materials will be provided, but attendees are welcome to bring their own. Please only use dry materials. 

 
2B Or Not 2B Collective are a POC-run collective based in London, who focus on uplifting marginalised bodies and making art accessible for everyone.
