Improvisation: Begin a drawing without preconceived plans.
This was difficult and I do not think I succeeded at this task. I write through my drawings, reflecting and figuring things out. What is this drawing asking me? Put pen to paper!
These three drawings are examples of things I do not like when it comes to drawing.
- Contour lines and drawing a line around images.
- Societies’ norm of using specific colours to represent gender.
- The historical use and overuse of the male gaze to present the “Canon”
Disruption of Taste:
- Working around with elements I dislike: I am not a fan of Matisse’s style of line and colour. So I set out to create a line contour drawing using pen and felt markers. I do not like to draw with pen and markers.
- Learn to take risks through processes. I studied Matisse and learned more about his art process, the what, how, and why he worked the way he did. So I set out to mimic a style I do not like.
- Use something from the external world to guide decisions. I did just that using pink, orange, gold, bronze, silver, and blue.
- Resolve the drawing satisfactorily. I am satisfied that I do not like this drawing.
