How to Draw 1983

Directed by William Wegman

In this short parody, Wegman plays an earnest drawing professor — a character that recalls television's Mr. Rogers — who demonstrates to Mark Magill's eager student how all drawing is based on "natural shapes" and how one can "learn by doing." Employing the stylistic conventions of a low-budget television "how-to" show, Wegman and Magill parody the notion of artistic instruction.
