Could be titled as problem-solving with drawing techniques. Kept going back to using the “analog drawings” and interpreting them like teas leaves.
Benchmark Drawings (pg 15)
INSIGHT
Drawing Upsidedown (pg 25)
Chrysanthemum (pg 44)
Signature (telling lines)
- Signature
- Signature with other hand
- Signature with usual hand but backwards
- Other hand without looking
Draw Lines
- First fast
- Second more slowly
- 3rd very slowly
Can tell which is fastest “time becomes and embedded quality”
- Draw a second set of lines very fast
- Try to duplicate them (you can’t)
Drawing out insight
- Fold paper in 6
- Anger, Joy, Peacefulness, Depression, Human Energy, Femininity, Illness, Your choice
- NO PICTURES
Drawing on Intuition
- Pick a person
- Draw a frame
- Draw them (nothing figurative as before)
Drawing on Insight (pg 103)
- Pick something in current situation, don’t name it
- Draw boundary
- No figures again
FCB Grid (pg 110)
Take these analog drawing and turn them around
SATURATION – (learning how to see in your own media)
Basic Strategies (pg 127)
- Percieve the edges
- Percieve the negative space
- The relation ships
- Lights and shadows
- The Gestalt
Gesutre Drawings (pg 139)
- 15 sheets of paper/magazine/ pen magazine
- 15 drawing in 15 minutes
- in 1 minute draw what you see. (the first picture you lay you eyes on, start with border…)
Gesture Drawings… return to Insight exercise (pg 143)
Drawing at a snails pace (pg 146)
- Draw one wrinkle, then the next… then the next… then the next
- Paper is taped down and you aren’t looking
- For 10 minutes
Drawing analogies from perceptual thought
10 minute slow draw… in what way is the problem I’m dealing with like this object
Negative space
Draw the outside of your hand
Negative space 2
Put hand down on piece of paper that is the same as the one you are going to draw on… if get to spot that is too difficult, draw the space around it.
What do you really see???
The flag thing
Spyglass
Look at things through a tube to see actually shape size and references
Then try to see that w/o the tube (how to build THAT into tool??)
The picture Plane
Grid in fron of your face… pg 185
Establishing A SINGLE POINT OF VIEW (drawing vs. object)
Draw a grid on window glass, then draw on grid
Use a plastic grid to draw a corner
Now just you (imagine grid)
Now use viewfinder
Want your say?
