| Workshop Body Over the allocated session times at Artsfest, participants will develop their individual drawing skills alongside the development of ideas about figure drawing. Some of the thoughts that will be developed, according to participant 'take-up', will be.... - Life Drawing - A document of the seen, not usually seen and hard to see - A Figure Drawing - a history of markings (inaccuracies, near-misses, hits) - A Drawing as a document of Artist Action - a 'chart' of discovery, interpretation, invention, expression - what? - Uncovering the psyschological through the physical - A Reserved Document - Giving and Witholding (the aesthetic edit0 - Beauty - pure artist input or reproduction of the inherent - Life Drawing as a sub-document of Art - Figure Drawing as Anthropological Evidence - more about artists than models - Life Drawing - a Social Document (Privilege, Permission and Prohibition) - Nude - another type of clothing; social issues and styles of avoidance - Fine Print in Life Drawing - social implications in uncovering nakedness - Is the drawn naked figure a document with a political subclause? - accounting for challenges from Feminism and cross-cultural critiques Participants will be able to take advantage of Alan Tulloch's innovative and diagnostic approached to teaching drawing of the figure. Sharpness of perception and accuracy in recording are counterbalanced by an eye for developing creative responses to the representation of the figure. |
