workshop number three



Yesterday, Wednesday April 14, the third workshop "intensive drawing" was held. Not many participants, but the participants there worked quite intensively with the rectangular grids of the golden ratio. We also worked with the proportions after the triangle of Kepler.
I was glad one of the teachers from the graphic department joined the workshop. I am not sure but a difference between departments where students have to do assignments like the graphic or the textile department and departments without commissions like fine arts, where the student has to explore his or her individuality, it is quite hard for them to work after an assignment. I don't want to generalise and I would like to know it better if students from fine arts, where they have to go deep into themselves, if they are less flexible to work after a system or assignment than students from departments which are more specific and concrete like graphic arts.
Drawing after a system or assignment which is given by someone, it isn't necessary to have ideas while working. You can build up a concentration where you discover the possibilities in the system and new inventions can happen.
You have to start.
Try to define some rules to start with.
Or try to be as precise as possible to visualise the principle idea.
The first and quick result doesn't matter.
Know that it is better to foresee a series of drawings to explore the principle or idea.
And try to get rid of personal taste and prejudices.



Two drawings of Luna Maurer, while drawing she got infected with the "there are so many possibilities microbe".



Two drawings of Rosa Doornenbal, she worked with the proportions construction of the triangle of Kepler. Because she likes the most the triangle, and dislikes the square and circle. Therefore it will be a challenge for Rosa to draw with parts of the circle next time.
