My research for exercises in this part of the studies as well as summaries of background reading to understand difficult concepts Deleuze put forward and to integrate it into my understanding of Visual Arts and answering Part 4 of this course.

Select one of the previous four assignments as the starting point for your personal project: The options are: line, space and form your immediate environment outdoors figure and face Life study drawing is a constraint, as access to a model is difficult.

My tutor comments positively on my effort to read as wide as possible, I appreciate her ‘seeing’ my efforts. It surely is very much part of my nature to seek to understand, but I still find it rather difficult to take the complex reading to a place of understanding – the process is many a […]
