Monday 10 May 2010




Course work: Reviewed my sketches from 6 May and concluded that I need another visit to the site to have enough information to work with. Will take my camera this time.



Reading:



Rose-Marie & Ranier Hagen What Great Paintings Say (Vol. 2)

Taschen, Köln, 2005

Pp 524-535



Personal sketchbook work: Attempted some sketches of buildings from my photo collection. The first was a downhill street in a small German town: my perspective didn’t come out quite right. The second was the ornate corner tower of our local hotel, built in 1898.



Other activity: Watched a VHS tape by Tony Couch entitled Drawing and Sketching with Markers. This was less useful than I had hoped.



Weekly reflections on learning experience: Further study of perspective early in the week has shown that I may understand the theory, but am having trouble applying it in practice. Later in the week, farm work and resultant fatigue cut severely into my drawing efforts.



Total time: 2 hours 7 minutes (33h18m)
