Contemplation Drawing

A long confident big curve line was made at the top which started this piece. Black wings drag the attention as a repetition similar in shape appeared close by, also with black feathery nature to enhance the effect. There is a contrast in texture build up of dots, unlike the other drawings done in this time frame. Circles were carefully measured for the exact placement of the ten 'hands' , five of which on either side. These hands were not intended to have any resemblances with the Chinese goddess 'Kwun Yin' at all, but, at one time, I almost wanted to title this by. Contemplation, does not always have to have the eyes opened, staring into space. The big eye lash at the center was done with a minimal of lines. My technique was not as sophisticated back in 2004-09, therefore the lines are quite wriggly and discontinued in places. The dotted lines on either side of the head help to bring the focus of thoughts outside of the mind - my interpretation of contemplation. I tried to place different shapes within the piece, there are needles stabbing through the body, images reminiscence of the sculptures 'A moment in our world', 'Fallen angel', 'Burial' I was making during the time, mushroom shapes all over the bottom left and a dragon-like creature by the foot of the central figure. There are no reasons for their existence as the subconscious was working not my conscious mind, the images simply surfaced as the black grew on the page. I was teaching at the local high school as the art panel at the time. The students were taught to embrance the adventure of how the blacks fill the whiteness through 'doodle art'. I had different approaches when I taught doodle art classes. The projects were done not only with sharpies on paper, but also sharpies on foam cards which were then used to combined into sculptures afterwards. During the creative process, I also like to intervene my students by advising them where the next area of attention should be so that they learn about composition at the same time. I believe it is also the job as a teacher to be creative in projects and plan surprises so that students are aware of the improvisation aspects.
