Today I was involved in a life drawing session. I have previously been apart of a life drawing course. I always enjoy the life drawing during the middle of the session as I become more fluent with the pencil/drawing tool. I find that the way in which I perceive the model comes to true form on my paper. It's a great experience for anyone with an art background or those in general as the persons 'perspective' of life and still is enhanced. I improve in my free hand drawing skills every time I take part.
We were asked to demonstrate time limited pieces to help with our form of something at first view. So for example I completed a few drawings that ranged from 10 minutes to 10 seconds. As we began with the longer sessions first, I was able to pick up my proportion skills and eye for detail .This helped me when it came to the shorter sessions as my interpretation of the human form was still present despite not drawing all features of the body.
I took a lot away from the task of my 'collective drawing'. This is when one person started the drawing of the model and then after a certain amount of time, passed the image along for the next to make additional marks. When I finally received my last drawing and made my own marks, I found I took ownership and was able to make marks of direction and fluidity. This is exemplified in the first image above. I took insight into this as a reflection of larger group tasks. It showed me how I might be, in terms of taking a leadership role and being in charge of the base and finishing touches of a project. This task I did find successful.
