Group Tableaux Drawing
The aim of this project was to draw half the group posing in a scene or environment, then after our drawings are complete, the models switch roles with the artists and then draw the new models.
This was a quick initial warm up sketch to loosen ourselves up, I adopted a quick and relaxed drawing approach start off with.
The first main attempt was mainly testing the waters of drawing multiple models, which isn't something we do often in life drawing class. This particular scene had the theme of an uninvited guest which was the person standing and everybody reacting to her presence.
This scenes theme was the birthday party, it was mainly split in between the boys and the girls. Someone had accidentally smashed a mug which added to the surprise factor on some of the models faces and expression. Slowly a narrative had started to develop between our drawings which told a loose story of people at a party.
Conclusion: The tableaux exercise was very enjoyable and actually gave us a chance to draw a 'scene' with multiple characters and scenarios with multiple narratives being developed as we produced work. I prefer the middle sketch of an uninvited guest as it really shows an atmosphere among the models as if it was a still from a tv show or scene from a book.
