Q. What did you think when you thought up the week's task?
A. I thought it would be fun to do an expressive art exercise!
Q. Talk us through your image...
A. Well, in this case, it’s many images. I felt a bit silly doing the exercises, but whenI got to the last part where we were supposed to draw-not-draw something by describing it’s movement, and describe what was happening, again, I think I was fairly skeptical, but I really feel it helped unlock some of the imagination I feel has been dormant in me for a while. I decided to have in mind a duck on the water, and I was describing, outloud that it was floating smoothly, the sunshine was glimmering, the water had rays of that sunshine glinting off it. The feel of the ducks feathers etc. That it has a sweet fluffy tail. I really felt it helped me imagine what I was doing, which I always feel is a struggle. I will come back to this!
Q. How do you feel about your results?
A. Not much to look at, I am sure! But I kind of like the looseness of it all!
Q. What do you think was the least successful part of your piece?
A. That there’s no real “finished” piece to show here, which I feel is letting the blog down a bit...
Q. And the most successful?
A. I found the last task really unlocked something, so I am excited to try that again, and this time try and do something figurative. Maybe I will post some more on the blog at some point!
Q. Did you learn anything?
A. Yes, see answers above!
Q. Any final thoughts?
A. I wish I had left more time for this. It’s been a busy week, and I left it until the last minute to do!
and just for fun, here is a video I made of myself doing the exercise (sped up for fun and boredom levels of viewer!)
