Course work: Further work on the limited-palette Conté pencil drawing of buildings.
Reading:
Margaret Livingstone Vision and Art: The Biology of Seeing
Abrams, NewYork, 2002
Pp 36-67
Personal sketchbook work: A sketch of a T-shirt abandoned on the back of a chair, done with black Conté pencil.
Weekly reflections on learning experience: An extensive review of work done so far in the course, as well as of earlier personal sketchbooks has convinced me that I need to work much harder at reducing the use of linear outlines of a single line weight in my drawing. My tendency to draw in this manner dates back to my days as a zoology student (and perhaps back even further), and I expect to meet great resistance in trying to improve. The continuing work on buildings remains not particularly interesting, but I am making progress, and expect to be able to move on to the next section by the end of the coming week.
Total time: 1 hour 44 minutes (49h33m)
