The Workshop - The Figure as Transient Form |
The focus of the workshop is designed to offer a different outlook in drawing - seeing the figure as a structured form that can (and will) move. |
Preworkshop Tutorials offer particants lead-in activities that increase learning. These Tutorials also introduce students to the Tutor, Alan Tulloch, and to his style of thinking. |
When you arrive at the workshop, Alan Tulloch will be already drawing as students choose a place in the Studio. Such a drawing demonstration is not meant to foster imitation - rather, it is to create an atmosphere of industriousness. (It also means that student drawing time will not be taken up with teacher demonstration time.) |
Participants will be introduced to a number of drawing approaches that will cause students to see the figure as a fluid, changeable form, benefiting from being drawn in inventive ways. |
The technigue used in "Sprung" was adapted to reference the 'energy' in the pose. Lines that register body-part positions were formed to be a bit like compressed springs. |
