Raw Drawing is not an art class - it is a unique philosophy and a practical resource that teaches you how to draw spontaneously, creativity without any inhibition. Learn how to use signs, lines and shapes to create a new visual language: a non-judgemental technique to help you visualise your thoughts, express your emotions, develop your ideas and, why not, relax with a pen or pencil. Since he launched the initiative in 2017, Italian artist Alessandro Bonaccorsi has given 42 courses across Italy, at which people have used 25,000 sheets of paper to expand their creativity. This book brings together all of Alessandro's core teachings, making the power and creativity of raw drawing accessible to everyone. The only requirement is that you are over 14 years old and can let yourself become a child again and draw with a carefree mind. Use Raw Drawing to get closer to the heart of things, and learn to appreciate the beauty of the spontaneous.
