Another week passes…..
“My” student is full of good ideas, and I’m expecting a draft of the graphic medicine page any day now.
Numbers were down for the life class (have I frightened them away? It’s possible) but those who attended are improving so fast you can almost feel it. We did the old exercise where you take 20 minutes to draw the whole model, take a fresh piece of paper & fold it into four equal sections (i.e. A1 down to A4), and then home in on a particular area of the model and draw that in one of the quarters. Next, you focus down on a section of the same area and draw it to fill the next quarter. And so on until you end up with, say, a portion of a toe occupying the whole of the last A4 section. A good way of learning all sorts of things including concentration.
After the break (no tea – the vending machine was out of order), the drawings were stronger and more confident – a result, I think, of the intense looking practised in the first half of the session.
