Drawing Workshop Spring 2003 (Andrew Zago) Visiting professor Andrew Zago led a three-day drawing workshop for a group of students from all levels of the graduate program. The exercise was inspired in part by Albrecht Durer's proportional studies of the human head. The workshop began by developing a proportional system for our own heads, and then superimposing that with an ideal proportional system. Each volume was cut into 10 slices (cut at the major divisions), which were then placed in relation to one another. This set up a series of X, Y, and Z displacements to be mapped out and registered through a combination of shifts and rotations. A set of rules were generated which determined how the displacement would be represented, with each rule varying slightly from one section to the next. Finally, the drawing was executed as a 90-degree axonometric -- a most unnatural drawing type that demands a high level of concentration if one is to maintain a consistent spatial order. The intent was to immerse us in the space and logic of the drawing. next |
