Viewing single post of blog Painting and theory

Today, our lecturers Jane Watt and Susan Barnet prepared a workshop called drawing as a way of thinking, where we created drawings according to our practice/ideas etc.
I enjoyed the process and realised how messy my mind could be, but the mess also ends up in something beautiful, like my drawing today that I really enjoy looking at.

At first, I started with a few squares and one text explaining my idea for the cube exhibition, and as you can see in my early posts on this blog, I previously created a little mind map like this one but It was not as big as this one. I was actually told to go even bigger if I thought that my thoughts would go even further than this.
In addition to the whole workshop, I wrote some notes on some artists that were mentioned in the presentation. The one artist that got my biggest attention was Matthew Ritchie, and I believe that he caught everyone’s attention with his exhibition called Demon in The Diagram.

What caught my attention was his idea of making the visitors parts of the exhibition. In my notes, all of my first reactions are noted as I note down everything that leaves an impression on me/ I know I need it because it closely connects to my practice.
