Study the Hirschfeld drawings “The Musical,1997” or “Say, Darling,1958″.

Discuss how Hirschfeld uses detail and balance to evoke a sense of place, whether it’s on a stage, backstage, or the audience.

What place has a special feeling for you? How would you make it come alive in a drawing?

What kind of drawing tool would you use? Pencil? Charcoal? Crayon?

Why is the choice of tool important? How did other artists evoke a sense of place in their drawings?

Do a small drawing of a place that has significance for you. What feeling do you want to convey to the viewer?
