Rubens to Sickert: The Study of Drawing

Landing page for the Rubens to Sickert: The Study of Drawing online exhibition. It has five images: Rubens' sketch of Marie de Medici, Sickert's drawing of Marie sitting on a bed, an Old Master of the Future submission of two female nudes, an artwork by Saranjit Birdi of a standing figure with head tilted back and facing up, and Rita Donagh's abstract artwork with purple-pink line and a grid pattern. There is also a red box in which reads "Take a pen, pencil or medium of your choice. Get a friend/family member to pose in a chair. Or pose in a chair yourself and take a photo, or look into a mirror. Draw their/your figure as much as you can in 5 minutes. What did you notice about your drawing style? Where did you start drawing from on the body?"
