Analysis and Intuition: Reflections on the Mystic Union of Measure and Abandon in the Art of Figure Drawing
2016
Overview
Is it not the illogical totality, the mystic union of the blot and the blueprint, or the instinctive and the rational, which has given true art its significance?Since being invited to teach at Virginia Commonwealth University's School of the Arts in the fall of 2010, this has been my primary objective.[...]paradoxically, rather than engage in what has been known for centuries as the practice of life drawing, students can find themselves forced to engage in a sort of death drawing.The semester-long, incremental transition from analytical processes of transcription to increasingly intuitive mark-making practices culminates with a visit to the Department of Dance and Choreography, where students are challenged to draw dance majors as they train and rehearse-in a word, to draw the human figure in perpetual motion.[...]students experience the antithesis of the inanimate, static approach that has come to define the conventional figure drawing instruction and, in the process, are introduced to drawing at the speed of sight.[...]the professor comes to have a great deal more respect for the challenges that students face as they complete their rigorous assignments.
