Sunday Drawing Class - 5 I hope that all of you are fine and doing practice well. Welcome to the 5th week of our Sunday Drawing Classes. If I say these words in Bengali, it will be regarded as a copy of a tagline from a Bengali comedy show. But why did I do so? Because Human beings generally prefer to copy something or someone. In fact, it reminded me of something. Most of us start our drawing/painting by trying to copy an image and reproduce/copy it through our hands. Where do we start? How do we see and draw the lines?, and so on. Surely you remember that I told you last week to show you why an artist within you should be an investigator too. An investigator always tries to find out the truth. While drawing, we really do that. A good work is an outcome of this process. Let us practice something that will boost our inquisitiveness and power of investigation. On the basis of your findings, each time you will produce a new artwork. Most important of all, those will be absolutely your own creation. It will not be a copy or reproduction or duplication. It will be as original as the truth. Today, there is no need to copy my work from the photo. Just watch the video to understand the process. https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=KoiLW9UY5IQ&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dq1H9DcSjC3Q%26feature%3Dshare 1. Close your eyes, 2. With your pencil, scribble on the paper in front of you for a minute. 2. Now open your eyes and watch it carefully from every side. 3. I'm sure you must find out some shapes from that scribble. Because all of you have excellent brainpower,which makes you the investigator in the world of art. 4. Then, add some more lines to that shape or shapes. Then remove the unnecessary lines. If you want, you may leave them there untouched, as I did. Now with a sketch pen or pencil make that figure prominent. I'm waiting eagerly to see your works of imagination. Please try, take pictures and post in the comment box. See you next Sunday … when we will try to find out geometric shapes from a photograph, and use them to recreate simple drawings in our own manner.
