WEEK 8
Artists in attendance 11
Who doesn’t love a bit of life drawing? Who doesn’t find life drawing difficult?
Who is scared of life drawing? Who worries about what the subject will think?
All of the above for me, and most of the artists this week. There were lots of comments like “I can’t do it, it won’t look right,” “sorry it doesn’t look like you,” “i’ve made a mess”. In the end every one had a go some people were pleased with what they did and some felt very cross with themselves. All this is to be expected for maybe your first go at it. It was really interesting to see the internal struggle that some people were going through, worrying that the subject would be offended by what they had produced. We all talked about this and came to the agreement that people would just accept the images and not be offended by them.
next week ABSTRACTION
