IMPRINT OF
A SPACE
DUE TUESDAY 3/4
For this
assignment you will be doing an extended study of the figures and
figurative moment within a specific space. The goal is to include the idea of gesture into a finished drawing.
This space
can be looking outdoors or indoors, but the assignment should represent 4
hours of work. So bear that in mind when choosing your location.
Choose a
location where you can comfortably work and sit for a several hour long study.
In this drawing you will aim to capture the figurative moment(s) within a
space through gestural study. You could focus on one figure's movement
over time, or focus on an entire group's movement. Include drawing of the
space itself as well, whatever elements you deem necessary to give the
figurative moment(s) conceptual context (nature? time? food?
furniture?).
Questions
to be answered in your drawing:
How can
you show movement of a figure through a space?
How do you
show the passage of time through a drawing?
How
specific will you take the figurative gestures? Do some gestures show a
quick movement, while others show a longer pose? How can you show a
figure at rest vs. a moving figure? How can you relay this information to
the viewer through drawing mark?
You must result in one 18"x24" drawing. Use your drawing paper.
You may do
one long study of one space. Or pick two locations for a
compare/contrast. Imagine the conceptual implications of what you choose,
and how best to relay this information in form. As always, consider and
treat the final product with care (ready for presentation).
