Course work: Four 45-second gestures, and a blind contour sketch. After some additional work, the Assignment Five drawing is, I think, now complete.
Personal sketchbook work: As many times as I’ve drawn this towel, I thought I’d draw it once more. A pencil sketch of my ancient work boots, still in regular use.
Summary reflections on the course: This has been a very useful course. My drawing has improved greatly, and I have learned at least the rudiments of use of media I would never have previously considered attempting. Parts of the text remain unclear to me: this may be because of advancing age rather than any inherent flaw in the text itself. I cannot yet claim to fully understand what “gesture” is, but it is my intent to continue to struggle with it. What progress I have made would have been impossible without the patient support of my model for Assignments 2 and 5. I think that anybody who is interested in drawing and is willing to do the required work could benefit from this course.
Total time: 1 hour 17 minutes
Total time for Assignment Five: 83 hours 27 minutes
Total time for course: 582 hours, plus probably that much more time spent on log-keeping, blog-posting, photography, looking for my pencil, etc.
