Mixed Media Stories

   Gesture drawings! We began the first of our 12-week session with gesture drawings, to loosen up and help train the hand and eye to work together.  You try to capture the energy in a person's gesture - drawing them while they are frozen mid-movement, looking for mass, tension, weight placement - using a scribbling style of drawing rather than a sketching style, moving quickly, completing each gesture in a minute our two.
   Then we will make up a story or poem to go with the series of gestures and finish these pieces off next week.
   I love inspiring others via the arts!
