I walked in on a life drawing class today and decided to stay. We did some movement drawings. I concentrated on mark making and my pictures reminded me of cave engravings where one image is superimposed over the other until they become hard to interpret.
David Lewis-Williams suggests that “representational imagary grew out of random markings”. The mark making came first, recognisable forms led to purposeful representation.
