First week of classes are done and I want to collect my thoughts and summarize all the concepts we learnt. We started with the movement curve.
The idea is to capture the flowing\twisting nature within the space of the model. The continuous curving at an organic rate. Capture the grace\inner movement. capture the continuity through imaginary space. We did a bunch of movement curves and drawing them made me imagine/visualise the three dimensional form of the body and the skeleton within it. As I drew the curve, it made my eyes move within the three dimensional space of the body and it opens up an awareness which I previously have not felt. Here is a page full of movement curves. I was initially not doing the twist explained below. So some of them are not really right.
We worked with 3 continuous movements. One curve from the top of the head following the the front of the face, twisting to the backside of the rib cage on the other end and twisting again to the front of the pelvis on the first side and then continuing along that leg to the toe. The other curve starts from the top of the head and follows the back of the head, twisting to the front of the rib cage on the other end and twisting again to the back of the pelvis on the first side and continuing along that leg to the toe. The third movement was from fingertip to fingertip following the hands and the shoulder and clavicle.
The first two movement can also be called as
theme - front of head to foot carrying most weight
counter-theme - back of head to other foot
Some of the words and thoughts that I noted during the lecture. Maybe something to ponder when I look back
Movement,
Unity
Efficiency
Economy
Liberty
Autonomy
Drawing is an arrangement of imaginary forms in imaginary space.
Look at works by JAD Ingres, Raphael, Poussin
