This spring I'm taking a class called Explorations in Figure Studies. The first class was last week. The teacher had us do several unexpected things for a life drawing class. I'm glad for the challenge to get myself out of any ruts that might be developing in the way I draw. At one point he asked us to do 20 second poses all on the same sheet of paper. This ended up a bit of a mess that looked nothing like life drawing. He asked us to separate out that sheet for later. At the end of the class he asked us to work on that sheet over the week. It was now a sheet with random marks on it. Abstract marks that we could add to, erase, colour, smudge or -- anything!
