Thursdays Discussion

There were some questions that we tried to answer in the the previous class discussion. I quickly jotted down some notes while we were discussing these questions.

1. make a list of what drawings have been used for in the past throughout history.
-tell stories with cave paintings
-technical/scientific
-only means of historic records
-language(Egyptian)
-sketches/sketchbooks
-floor plans/architectural designs
-early forms of comics
2. Compare and contrast that with how they are used in the present.
-a lot more visual
-storyboarding/motion drawing
-another form of expression
-still used for architectural/floor plans
3. talk about how each of us have encountered drawings as a viewer.
-inspired to recreate things in the real world, draw what you see.
-drawing not a established fine art medium.
-Not much within museums
4. How have you experienced drawing as a maker of art. How is it related to what you do.
-teacher, express why I like drawing
-foundation of all art forms, start with a drawing, planning, mapping out.
-every single project starts with drawing, storyboards
5. When has drawing been most interesting to you.
-since kids, loves comics, don't have to worry about proper presentation
-when you really push it, to make it better, how to improve it
-how beautiful it can look really representational or very simplistic
-The surprise of the finished drawing, better then what you realized when you were creating.
6. What should drawing be used for.
-has so much potential that to say it should be used for one thing or another is very limiting it.
-so valuable for anything
