## About this plan

If you enjoy creative plans in Bogotá, this illustration workshop at the Gabriel García Márquez Public Library, Tunal location, is for you. The idea is simple and strong. You change the way you look at everyday things and find new images in what you already know.

During the session you play with light, shadow, reflections, textures, and angles. Each exercise asks you to move, step closer, or step back. You see how the same scene changes with a different frame or a different light.

The space is built for hands-on experimentation, with no pressure. It is open to anyone who wants to approach photography from an artistic and curious place. Entry is free and spots are limited, so it pays to reserve through the official source ahead of time.
