Investigating Art Movements through Speed Drawing
The project embraced twelve art movements from Modern and Contemporary Art periods. These include Cubism, Expressionism, Futurism, Abstract Art, Dadaism, Realism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art and Postmodernism. The experiment attempts to find suitable methods for remembering large volumes of visual information. One of the tools is intensive speed drawing sessions which allow participants to explore their unique visual understanding of the art movement through forms, lines, colours and composition. The experiment is conducted in two parts. Each session includes short viewing an artist’s retrospective or a video of the particular movement. A drawing session follows this, and participants are given the freedom in choosing a medium, and representation techniques. The main emphasis is to draw images of the movement from memory. Additionally, precise, accurate or taught drawing conventions are discouraged. All images in the book are copyright protected. Please, contact the author for any type of image and text usage.
