The Model

The life model occupies somewhat of a passive role in the drawing class as a muse or an anatomical subject. The location for creativity is relatively fixed within the space of the easel where pencil or paint brush touch paper. In this work I experimented with this pedagogy to allow for a variety of spaces in the class to be sites for creative exchange. These included the body of the model and the class as a whole who's circular windmill-like structure allowed for an array of vignettes to take place.
