Unit 1
Animalize yourself!




UNIT 2
Sandro Botticelli — probably a self-portrait, fragment of a painting: Adoration of the Magi, 1475
I tried not to think. Even about composition, meaning. I was interested in the face itself. The faces in Botticelli's paintings are beautiful like from templates. Like from a beauty manual. The Barbie doll is from the same story. As if emotionless. Just beauties. Even the square big chin is beautiful there. Beautiful and kitschy.





UNIT 3. Interpret an object




Racoon by pen + ink


UNIT 4


Playing with waxes. Terribly messy technique. I use fixative to protect the drawing (a little too late but it works)



There's a lot of talk about crossing comfort zone here, for me the hardest part is fitting everything on one spread. Cramped. Everything is so tiny. An A3 size notebook would be best suited (unfolded A2). A more appropriate space for me.









IN USE
After a few months, the tiny birds ended up on the poster (Patchwork exhibition for children ”Small is beautiful”). The notebooks really are very useful.

What can I say that was written in the comments above?
Discovering each of your proposals, over the weeks, was each time a delight.
Always with that little something extra, like the ingenuity of this brain teapot if I'm not mistaken.
Thank you for all these sharing!
