Out of Line / an open studio space for all from RISD Museum on Vimeo.

Out of Line: A Drawing Space for All was an interim open studio space in the RISD Museum Chace Center which accompanied the exhibition Lines of Thought: Drawing from Michelangelo to Now: From the British Museum. Daily prompts, demonstrations, collaborations, and other creative experiments offered hands-on opportunities to use drawing as a tool to imagine, discover, and explore. Guided sessions ran October through January 2018. This is a collection of video drawing prompts inspired by artists from the past and present designed to accompany the studio events.
