Oh. Here now to drawing it corroding head of the department of grabbing at the School of the Museum of Fine Art that you had your paper and pencil ready that. Is. Good evening. It is pleasant again to be back with you with talk about growing as you remembered two years ago we had a lot of fun doing it and fill in the zone there and I think again that you're going to have a great deal of fun by experiment was that with the various different Kate noticed or cared. They are again going to make a very simple one for you're going to really enjoy it for the drawing fairly actually become a commodity that be of the stock they're going to or working here or are getting into a form or form to Cuba
if given into that. And because of that they were all not really that quiet and simple but added You're trying to work from the mormons over here you will find that they are not so easy that will grow but they're rarely if you rarely understand or form while you are really draw with a great deal of convict scribble drawings railed at the growing abstract drawing of whatever you may or want to do. There lies the clue right in the here and I think that that main thing is that we must have fun growing really cannot operate on that we have a great you know front until I think of it can you call a pencil and paper and work I don't have that great smile on our page I think the drawing going to be called MARGARET Well I want to tell you
something a little bit about materials which we are to use. Regards. Remember last year sent in from drawing. They were extremely small and they were done on a notebook paper. At that time I recommend an inexpensive pad like this for a lot like this and that backing in from the back of it. A new kind of rod rarely quite why I like to suggest that you run your board it will work with me. Delegate them or if you work at home but then still move but I'd really rather unhappy about it I think that the drawing then become quite alive and so on so I figured that if it were done in some drawings make them quite a large sheet of that kind of this not yet another type of rigid drawing board. Rather inexpensive up from board
and paper that you can fasten to the board by about Paxil. Then here. We have two kind of thought that to be and they dream big to get there with this material to guard their fans the relative appears a little bit harder but it started not to them. Get with it quite nicely and drain it under the door beat your belly I actually sucked up into the budget for it landed very nicely for that particular job. Then here I had to get a rater but your problem never had to you when I know where you could go. You can buy a red ruby right over to the right soft and pliable and take the drawing away the don't quite well.
Well ok now then what can we do overdrawing I think that I thought before drawing got that really. And if you want and if it is important to go to become well-known for their point of drudgery. So we got to have fun. Now how can we operate a drawing in a very simple way. And I like to show a little sketch that I think that dream up out there now of value we're seeing me only here you can work with me. And I feel there is little simple shape like that you probably have another little shape like that. Now in this type of drawing I'm quite your little covert You and I got on quite well you can do what I want to give or do in that particular thing. Again you're in the beginning of it and see what
what can be done to get this through and to hear their you know hand. And we now know if you draw a good deal how that begins to move on and you have one then you have that. They are not coming down into the way. And you know that again. Again very well lit of the form. You know that that began where I was going to be moving back into that I had a little bit like that then were there Larry here or there or were I'd move up like behind. Then the what might come on the other side something of that.
Now I'm going to go run back here or we're not going to move into great. And here you are that that that part. Of being of the latter I want to have a point there and I thought it would begin to morrow you know were simple get go at that do it right and do it. Then you have enacted or reform coming out like that. The thought of it ringing out like not well you know I would have been delighted it was all about the guy didn't go that way to her
living again the faith of I thought the thought of him lately like that then that I'm over here they're not going to be moved by the body then come forward you know like you would be on there. Apart from lying doggo go lying down with a handgun I mean getting the thing over big by an egg like that and I can see how that part of the movie really until I got. That you're simply thinking about moving there. That's sort of it you hear the little knot form coming on. Like back in that convention right in for that coming right up. Now what we have Don over here very simply moving that form
into space and that could be a bit. Gashed your attitude of it growing. Moving from run back and then off they go. Now that gives your very intuition or form. I don't that moving into space and it really I've baked definitely or I'm growing on the big you know metric form that you will not be able to talk about now how died a figure like that relate to the patent. Up next I'm going to a little bit here you'll have a line like this urn I can without a nun come down like that. There than you have on top of that you're looking down on it. And then this or this or this or it over into via the one that. One of the moves in American Forward in Faith in the community a close relationship of what they have done right in there. There's
relating to that now isn't that really actually part of a day that given that the majority of people being in the back you have this and you'll have it for your own tribe and then down toward Barack and that there's this moment that's very actually what we're interested in the part of the drawing to show that number of course come here after the one that we can talk about modeling and things like that I've been really that came after. Now let's go on and just simply expanding their cube a little bit because I think it will give a quarter understanding if it doesn't hurt the experiment here. There's a queue of all the sides of a crowd. Like when you begin to swing it around in any
kind of a direction like that it becomes actually quite a difficult draw. Now the first thing that I want to impress upon you here you have that top when you look down on it like that I know this and that they're really going to think what I did you would look at that thing and going here this appears to be wider and that appears to be you know and that gives the illusion of the form moving into that I've been showing a little diagram on the drawing room. After all what is important in that body and going to see it but got that way and then the way you're looking down on it. When you were looking there did mean that you are below all of this or that and that means that you are
now when you would draw at home your doubt that you clearly adopted and you are part of that goal because that will have considerably and showing your shape right in the world. And I and I would like to. Point out to you. India will simply drive our crap. Let's deal with it wronging that we are looking down at but. Then there were very simply you would rob me. Great line. No problem in calling quite well you can go. Straight line like that. Then remember what I said to you then played like that and there is a language other than that I'm not blind. In door there you see immediately how that gives the illusion are moving back into things. There you have it wrong.
It was either that or the movie. I think don't win that game you are immediately appealing up you have what to do you have a right and then of course the different going on there for you to feeling looking down. You know Gore. They have drawn another look at what is read I feel important that you when you started with a drawing made you feel about your form. Don't mind what at one point. Then you have the bomb thrower. And then again based. On what you said there you are now at that when you're looking a little then you begin to look at that. This is really earth surely are valued simple and very important
step in doing it but real value simple and what it might mean for you on the other we got from this to all of it can build on it. Flowers are hand machine human being that a thing about what might make them. Then let's go out to the. Corner of you with that so we can see have it be the frontside and not see that we can do to start and to start again. When writing a book here. So what you're doing now is good. Follow me again in your drawer in a straight line. This way we're doing that before. It doesn't necessarily have to be like that. But there's some that are competitive that I'm from the odd one I didn't go there you go they did looking down and of it like that then you go like that. We didn't get it you're thought of and like you were looking at the corner of a role by him by seeing
that line like so than this line here. Then all of that so then using your cell phone that gives you looking at the front. Right there in front and the. Road to the rear. If you're going to I want to bring. Their neck down. Although I would be the happiest. But I'm the one because I don't really like you know that the fundamental they are simple but they are difficult. And they're more difficult than almost with on the curve learn that distort the thought of it before. So let's work on that know what they would be used for. Like Going to a drawing for you or you can change you can work them into all kinds.
Of combinations. Now let's take for instance the The View and showing perhaps how we can dissect it in for several minutes. When I first carry it like that. And began moving back I'm going over like. There's a very simple method which I want to add to. The whole and to understand. You don't have to use a compass to find the facts. All you have to do is draw from corner to corner. Better to get the same thing right in through here. You can draw a center right and
so that is actually what you can work out in reducing your quality of the joint by pointing to going to look over your own list. Let's let's do one more employee here. I thought I've been on this for what comes over like but. You will have that coming up like that now that I've got to look like you think you're going to have an open I can at night in front of a rule avoid them look on the outside of the queue. I mean it can be avoided with a kind of like why not look at it like that. You're driving me right slowly on the dotted line it doesn't quite line up next time it will not I don't line up. Let's take one of those head up they have dies at the prom.
That's sad but we are taking this section in here and putting on top of that now owned it over and already have my own defender in the league but you could do it this way. Now when you draw you're out getting in the company you see the beautiful blonde rolling on the Hill of them and like all kinds of different type of a how to manual. You are not quite sure how those lines go up or down and holiday reads phone into rated to the Evening think about. Don't Again the if you don't have it gets any of how well I remembered it when what one thing wants to do simply extend that right up. Like that. Well that's really actually very simple and I immediately gave us no way. How it took place. This line in the center of it. Now all you have to draw from me I would be in that line right there and you would try that all right and the one that started this.
And this part here didn't give you a good feeling. Moving this. Form back to that wall in there and you have really actually not trouble at all. There again this time this law yeah. You then get up and then you push theirself in go that second like that. There you will have a problem. A building one hollers another very very simple one very very simple and I need really really solid and renovates for this form here relates to that. For that I've written a very important part in the letter to grow then your day of years old. There's a line input here from going from corner to corner like that. Then you want to place your doorway or whatever it may be to the thought like that. You can say Well that is so far from the
center and so on to get an idea of a whole you can play to draw it because eventually when that becomes part of it like just like handwriting like a b c you don't have to think about the natural continuation of your drawing as you go or not. What I taking out simple objects I would like to have you drop something that is actually around the hard chair. Really I actually have quite quite a complicated complicated mechanism to really get it so it stands on the floor. So if you have a friend then you can really sit down and but I didn't really actually do that and I'm going to think of that and then starting again with the front of the chair. The combination right in through there I would like. Very much that you didn't thought you were. There you have your box which again
relates to take you there during a quote about this on that leg. I have the experience of God school and the student approach going into the ark. We have found out that I actually have a very vile exercise to go through to learn the basic type of drugs are this morning in this form or this form here this one and this one here big. We got to get in the really really big hit with them. They wouldn't shoot many of your cards when you draw that type of a drawing right into the you know sort of a get to me on that. Here comes the included think book where you bought your character and
haven't won a million I'd like that and you lift it up. There you will have a very simple drawing on the basic structure of it sitting down on it. I didn't come at all very encouraging I remember every charge of that in the drawing and begin to disappear and become small. Now that our show went on. Like that and you'll come in here for all of that and all of that line or include it you know that you're not a paper thin legs. You think we're going to mention that you're growing.
And Vera forward this line for you have been in break through that then exactly the same thing in the front of that was right in not coming down with it and that's going to get it all going like that. There's one line here I come from the back of the leg. Not only told what if from glory I would to the cone at a corner and then from the corner you are going into space again like my bed with that little thing of drawing we moved from there from the back. So then that again for a little bit to get dick back to the theme the mid right in the world. So you get this part right in the end that come and go like that and this far
this far in the way here. You're not going to follow that side of that little bottle back now upon the back leg I've been very fortunate to have brought about a good plan. But they're back like really I'm sure they would be very much the same as the other two legged right until you come down in through here and come over on your three different side like that. But the quote that is very interesting to watch at this particular time is booth this this convention relating to the seat because if one of those legs were shorter then no question that becomes a little bit askew. Sometimes it might be of interest. But the family like to get through it. Well control. Sometimes got the armor coming up. I did want to show you a simple way of doing that because the woman or the
man sitting in the chair never think of it going they all of a thing for being something that doesn't quite belong to it. So what to do right in through here. Extend it shaped like this. You draw a course and that shape all the way and for that I mean all you have to do is just connect that to the back. So then you have instruction not the grandfather grandmother rarely actually could get inside on that gesture of attitude about the intro and I would like you would Great Experiment with different art here. Let's just go back again to the first but let's see. Autumn Leaves might get a heart might be any kind of a shape with if you want a thank you like that I don't want to experiment with
shapes and forms like that. The thing is how useful it can be a community that it out and then you would get back with it back to see how it really begins to move in the home. Not that you'd want to be the one that said that if we moved into space in Connecticut what do you believe has turned it down the tree and they're moving about so then. Or the heart whatever movement you come in. They are that movies alone in that particular section that carries red again into that box so you can experiment with those little things around in that part I think that it will have a grand time.
I have to hear you a little example only had by Brock Richard you had me growing and then you see how good your metric form really actually being used to a great advantage. This store called The Square cone the den that I think of that thought it would have a really wonderful example in that particular coffee he had a you had a more of a realistic. Growing by you or our family it rarely actually shows how forms he has been used as a method or see the buildings the steps the windows all about thing and particular rather than exciting to me and that's not how that lady moves
in. Just like that stuff is not get talked about in the beginning. They are not really actually moved in and gives your date the form and experience a form right into that you noted also the middle and comb shaping and go there. And this part intended to give us a really actually wonderful quality of craftsmanship which is really magnificent. You come to our museum I think it be wonderful to work on those and see those grow. Now tonight we have had a great in our corner of a working order of things so if you are interested Sam into drawing for me at the bank I'm going to the Museum School and we'll see you on Friday. Thank you and good night. The. Plan you're drawing from a bank 230 depend when it was aborted the matter
with the bank with its cap will be glad to give you could it want to review progress production supervision of the museum by a particular reduced and directed by Cabot light. There are banks will teach you drawing each week at this time it will criticize your work on a new program Fridays at 7:45.
