Minimalising: Using Simple Line Drawings to Explore Sculptural Form
By Sheila Ceccarelli
Exploring form using a reductive or minimalising approach to drawing as a tool to study form. Using simple line drawing to explore sculptural form, students drew constructed sculptures of animal skulls that they’d created the week before Constructing Sculptural Skulls in Heavy Paper and Tape.

Yes – I agree – what was interesting about this session was how out of their comfort zone the students were – they probably had not seen much work from the minimal art movement or even abstract drawings – so for them to be pushed into that process made them uncomfortable. I was amazed by their natural ability and instinct to analyse form in this way. I think they did an outstanding job. I will pass on your comments to students to give them a confidence boost. Many thanks!
