THE INCISED LINE
The incised line is a line that seems to cut
across the paper implying a sense of
direction. It is made by using the charcoal on
its side to make this precise line. This method
of drawing not only picks up the dynamics of
direction through the outline of the figure,
but at the same time it informs us of the
changing planes of the form within the
figures.

previously suggested. Pose the model again
and make a further drawing over the first
drawing, and repeat this process again. On
the third drawing you will start to become
lost and a sense of confusion will be what you
are feeling. This is a sensation that we want to
create, as it is only when you are lost that the

MOVEMENT
In this next series of drawings, the medium of
charcoal will be used to show an expression
of movement.

different poses one over the other as seen in

drawing can be found. This is a very useful
drawing for students as it helps to develop an
abstract sensibility. What we have created
here for the artist is a very important state of
mind, as you can now develop the drawing’s
potential as an abstract piece. One way of
doing this is to take a small window mount
and start to place it over areas of the drawing.
You will find that interesting developments
appear for you to make larger drawings from.

1c/ As with the first drawing on
movement, take a window mount and place
it over the drawing to create new dynamic
abstract compositions. From these
discoveries you can make larger exciting
drawings.

2/ Instruct the model to move through a
series of actions, for instance walking then
bending. While you are doing the drawing,
the model should repeat these movements at
the same pace. Start your first drawing at a
very slow pace. As you get used to the
method of drawing, you can then speed up.
Remember you are not drawing the model
but the action. What you are trying to draw,
using line, is a continuous flow that gives a
sense of the action of the model as they move
through space and time. The best type of line
to use for this is what artists call ‘continuous
line’. This in effect means that you do not
take the charcoal off the paper as you are
making the drawing. However, you should
allow for different weights of mark that
express movement both across and into the
picture plane.

THE MOVING VIEW
Before the 1900s artists would realise the
world from one point or view. The viewer
would be presented with that view and would
understand the scene from that perspective.
This was a traditional way of presenting our
understanding of the world two
dimensionally that had been used for
centuries in a western cultural ideal.
However, our attitudes began to change at
the beginning of the 20th century, and other
ways of seeing began to be explored. Our
attitude to the one point view began to
change. Artists such as Picasso and Braque
began to experiment with multiple views of
the same subject on the same picture plane.
What they intended to do was to present a
view of reality along with another view of the
same reality on the same piece of paper.
Hence the birth of Cubism.
The moving view is the perfect way for us
to extend our understanding of the world
visually using the medium of willow charcoal.

board that you can easily rotate or move
around to take up different positions. The
