Fluid Thoughts-WEEK THREE DRAWINGS

In the duration of the Four weeks, Chrissie and Anton have "gently introduced us" to the mediums of Charcoal and Ink. Being fully aware that most of us are very unfamiliar with drawing, they taught use to observe the world around us with a spatial and interpretive mind; in conjunction with seeing the world in light and shadow. And then to apply our thinking to hand and then to paper.

This representation form 3D to 2D on paper is truly very difficult. I find that with practice, the hand will produce what the mind perceives with more resolution. And inversely, the mind will be sharpened and more perceptive.

Techniques the tuturs have taught us to help us understand this connection include that of

• Observational sketching of both interior and exterior environments,
• blind contour drawings and Collage to better highlight the intrinsic geometryof the built environment and the
• merging of two perspectives in a compositional layout to illustrate through transparancy the transience of time and place.
