Parameters

Yuko, we thought it would be a good idea to establish parameters for our 100 Drawings project. We will use the same paper and same format, and as for processes - anything goes.

Shelly suggested using Fabriano paper. We should agree on the size, and then we can all get started. Any suggestions for size?

Another project that we will try as an extension of the 100 Drawings is to make a drawing on a sheet of 22" x 30" Fabriano, then bring this along to the next meeting. At the meeting, we will tear up the drawings to smaller sizes, then exchange these snippets to work the drawings further.

Our next meeting in September will be in this lovely studio...details to come.

Exchange

On Sunday, we touched on some ideas that would be interesting to research...

1) Collaboration and testing the boundary between the collective whole and the individual. (Sounds Jungian...thoughts anyone?)

2) Drawing as a reflection of linguistics and identity - influenced by culture, generation, and lived experiences.

3) Engaging the blog as an active site for collaboration.

4) Sun Signs: Achala=Gemini, Shelly=Virgo, Andrea=Sagittarius, Yuko=what kind are you??

Specimens

Thinking about how to respond to Achala's book that started with stains and fungus, I found these morsels of inspiration in the back yard.

A day well spent.
