Exploring Drawing

Here I will journal my progress in Interdisciplinary Drawing, a subject I am undertaking as an elective in my studies for a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I will be showing interpretative studies based on my previous studies in drawing.

Drawing Research - Paul Klee

"Klee developed many distinctive ways of making pictures, the most famous of which is oil transfer drawing. This process involves tracing a pencil drawing placed over a page coated with black ink or oil into a third sheet. That sheet receives the outline of the drawing in black, in addition to random smudges of excess oil from the middle sheet.

Drawing Research

"Since drawings first served as adjuncts to the working process, they were generally unsigned. Even through drawings are less ambitious or finished compared to work in other media,they often reveal the genius and style of their creators in a clear and characteristic way." "The key purpose of drawing is to generate creative energy and record the process of brain-storming on paper." "Idea-generating sketches possess the aura of fiery inspiration. Drawing has always been considered among the most intimate and personal of the arts." "Practitioners have continually adapted and redefined the nature of the format and support as their artistic goals have changed, thus constantly renewing and expanding the expressive potential of one of the oldest art forms."

Absence/presence Project

Today I made a drawing using 53paper.  Slowly I erased the drawing snapping it and saving to eventually make a stop motion video with icananimate app.  I made 18 slides. This afternoon I will do more drawings and snapping for the video by redrawing bit by bit to become the original image again.  So, in essence, the drawing disappears and emerges again kind of like a death and rebirth. This is written for my later reference so I can remember where I am at with this project.
