Shantell Martin (born October 1, 1980) is a British visual artist, intuitive philosopher, cultural facilitator, teacher, choreographer, songwriter, performer, and more. Best known for her large scale, black-and-white line drawings, she performs many of her drawings for a live audience. Born in Thamesmead, London, Martin lives and works in Los Angeles and New York. Along with exhibitions and commission for museums and galleries, Martin frequently collaborates with international commercial projects, both private and public.
Warm-up
Please take a look at the videos provided. As you listen to Shantelle Martin talk about her art, her process, and methodology you will begin to understand her approach to drawing and how and why it works for her.
Please take a minute to watch Making Music: Words and Lines.
We will begin in black and white. Have a number of blank pieces of white paper ready and black pens or markers. We will take our lines for a walk, fully relaxed but paying attention to the movement of the lines.
Consider incorporating words in your drawings. You may even think of it as a performance.
Project
After we share our warm-ups we will discuss project ideas.
