Incidental Line

Begin by creating 10 incidental line drawings on 18x24 drawing paper

Let the action describe the line

Attach the paper to physical body or have the paper in a place where line is captured by bodily actions.

You MUST use achromatic media (this means without hue: black and white)

Use your mouthDraw with your feet

Use an inanimate object

GET CREATIVE with how you do this!!!

The actions you can do are practically limitless to

create fabulous marks

Do at least 8 different actions to create your 10

drawings. .

Do not hold the medium in your hand like a pencil. Grasp it where you can hold your wrist and hand still. Allow the movement of your body or vehicle to create the line. Do not force the line to happen let the movement of your body move the drawing instrument not your hand. You are recording movement.

After you have completed your 10 drawings, pick your best 5 and crop to

make interesting compositions.

Your pictures cropped will be 7x10

Example: place your sketchbook in your lap as you ride the bus or metro link. Do not hold the writing instrument like a pencil! Watch lines form as your body sways with the curves of the road and the bumps of the asphalt.

Look at the whole picture plane

Experiment

Take Chances

Be assertive

Be confident

Great art comes from the artist making a series of great choices
