Viewing single post of blog anatomy and drawing

Well, at last I’m back online – possibly permanently??? So far, the tally is: a series of engineers’ checks on the line, another series of engineers’ checks on the line, “oops, could it be the router?”. It was – twice. So I’m now on the third router, and … fingers crossed, so far so good.

Since I’ve been away, (and I’ve been away properly, too) several things have happened. Firstly, I’ve lost track of where I am with the project. Must sort this out. Secondly, the drawing “Homage, KSH” has been accepted for a national travelling exhibition – http://www.linesandstrata.wordpress.com -and that’s another of my drawings at the top of the 2006 archive page!

Thirdly, there seems to be a bit of publicity about life drawing on the television at the moment… I don’t have a TV, but I did read about Artangel’s project in a friend’s newspaper while I was on holiday. It was discussed on Radio4 on Saturday http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qh6g. Odd to hear apparently outward-looking media types retreating into the old “I can’t draw for toffee” stereotype. They seemed still to be suffering from the effects of school art classes: drawing-as-a-competitive-sport; your work isn’t good enough to be put up on the wall; if it doesn’t look like the model then it isn’t a good drawing. I think I need to see if I can download the Channel4 programmes & find out what it was all about.
