These are a few drawings from motion exercises I set up with my Advanced Drawing class this past semester. We were playing with trapping continual motion, something you often come across when drawing regular people on the street or at a coffee shop, but rarely encounter in the life drawing studio. (After all, we do pay the models to sit still…) For each exercise I had the model slowly perform a repeated action: stacking books on a table, pouring water from a jug, hurling a pillow across the room. The drawings that resulted show how visual memory, repetition, and economy of form start to give the idea of staccato motion (perhaps something like from a silent movie…)
