Action Drawing 1

For this experimental piece, students of my Foundation Drawing 2 class at HCC were invited to participate by walking and dancing over paper to create a drawing with paint. Unfortunately, students from another class came in and tracked the paint all over the halls and the restrooms. The custodians were not happy, my instructor and I had to clean it up, but it was fun.

This drawing was inspired by an exercise within our class that encouraged us to use non conventional mark making tools. I became interested in using the soles of our shoes. Seeing the prints that we choose to leave on the ground as a form of identity. This piece intends to make a portrait of a diverse group of students in a drawing class, seen from below, and to bring a performative aspect to drawing.
