Earlier this semester, we did gesture drawings. The goal of this lesson was to learn the perception of the whole, also known as perception of the gestalt and that subject + form = content. We as humans can empathize with the way materials are applied in drawings, as they indicate the expressive quality. These drawings were done quickly, at arms length with continuous marks.

| Mass Gesture and Mass & Line Gesture |
The drawings above and below took about 4 minutes each. They're done on 18"x24" newsprint with vine charcoal.

| Line Gesture & Scribble Line Gesture |
Of all the gesture drawings I did, I think the line gesture was my favorite.
The one below is sustained gesture and took about 13 minutes.
