Passion: One Minute Drawings

It was challenging today in drawing class. I ended up discovering a-lot when we were asked to do a series of one minute drawings. Not having to add any extras, to adjust only to the contour of the model's frame was liberating! This taught me how the simplicity of a single line could be so expressive. Like dancing, during this exploration, these lines felt utterly kinetic. I have never done a one minute drawing but I think I will be doing more of them now!

I am taking a drawing class. This is my first drawing. I chose the hardest thing on the object table to draw. Skulls have always held a fascination for me. Human or animal. They remind me of how strong a body really is; of its strength and permanence. With our other parts, it seems as if we are so frail. It takes bones years upon years to disappear long after death. Skulls are a powerful symbol of physiological strength.
