Tues. May 10 DIVISION OF FIELD

Last Thursday my hard drive died, hence the missing post.  We made sketch book studies last Thursday that were then developed into large scale drawings last night. Krishna Chaitanya's drawing (in-progress) exhibits a centered and symmetrical balance.  The figure at the bottom of the composition adds an unexpected element of surprise and mystery.  The fluid contours of the silhouette create a look as though the figure has dripped from the pipes it is laying under.
Leslie Gonzalez's drawing evokes a cold austere feeling of the space. The hard white surfaces are very institutional and impersonal.  The doorway frames the composition and the shelf on the back wall draws our attention into the space as if you were entering a cell.
