When I teach drawing classes, I try to find a balance between formal, academic drawing and experimental markmaking which allows the student to express themselves more freely. I find studies like this to be incredibly valuable. The level of complexity requires an ability to see past details and break down the subject into simple shapes.
“All good work is from the general to the particular, from the mass to the detail. Keep that in mind as a fundamental principal of all good work, whatever the kind.”
~ Daniel Pankhurst
This type of work also trains the student to work with focus for extended periods of time. It requires commitment, and a strong work ethic.
