PAM // PAM CUT Drawing Club is an in-gallery drawing workshop series led by teaching artists Fry and Julz Clementine, who are skilled in both digital and traditional approaches. Designed as a full series or as individual sessions, the workshops invite participants to draw together in the special exhibition David Hockney: Works from the Collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, using traditional drawing tools or digital tools like tablets and styluses.
Through close looking, conversation, and guided exercises, participants slow down, sharpen observation, and study artistic decision-making up close. Through repeated practice and shared conversation, participants experiment, build confidence and visual perception, and foster a sustainable drawing habit shaped by curiosity, creative play, and community.
The price of one adult PAM admission is included with workshop registration. No supplies needed: drawing materials for both traditional drawing methods and a digital approach will be available.
Participants are invited to bring their own materials. To help us keep artworks safe, we ask that you limit those supplies to drawing pencils,colored pencils, sketchbooks, erasers, tablets and styluses.
Session topics
Session 1, March 8: Mark Making & Quality of Line, led by Julz Clementine Discover how dynamic lines, varied marks, and deliberate gestures can capture energy and movement, inspired by David Hockney’s bold, confident approach to graphic expression.
Session 2, April 12: Shape, Space, & Perspective, led by Fry Investigate how shapes interact in space and how perspective can be bent or layered, drawing from Hockney’s playful rethinking of how we see and construct visual worlds.
Session 3, May 10: Mirrors, Windows, & Reflection, led by Fry Explore drawing strategies for depicting reflection, framing, and multiple viewpoints, inspired by David Hockney’s playful investigations of how we see and represent space.
Session 4, June 14: Color & Shifting Light, led by Julz Clementine Experiment with color, tone, and atmosphere to observe how light changes across time and place, inspired by Hockney’s vibrant studies of landscape and interior scenes.
Why join? Draw in community with fellow art-loving adults while working directly from original works of art. Guided by a practicing artist, you will sharpen observation, deepen understanding, and build confidence through shared looking and hands-on practice.
