Mass Drawing – Al Arab, Moma, Fall Wtr-1 {DATE}

3D Mass:   The 3D volumetric ‘heft’ of a Form  – this can be depicted as a ‘wireframe’ scribble but with a feeling of weight. “Section” is an important form-giver for mass. Section is like cutting across a fruit or like the ribs of a boat. All the ‘Ways of Seeing’ interact with each other to reinforce a given image. Even ‘Contour’ edge lines can affect the expression and clarity of a Mass drawing.

3D Space:   Space is an important 3D entity. – It’s  not just the negative emptiness between positive Volumes-Forms. Think of a subject immersed in water, or smoke. Draw the water as if you were waving your hands and touching, encountering the subject and pausing the medium where it stops against the subject. The sum total of stoppages implies the form, making it seem to rise from the page, almost like a hologram . The water metaphor helps. Positive Form and negative Space are equal partners in 3D perception. The concept of drawing the space to depict the form is a little strange at first, but improves your overall perception and strengthens a drawing.

Tony’s Demo Of Spacehead-1 {DATE}

3d Mass-Space Assignment: Wire frame any object such as a boat or bowl of fruit…try to do a space drawing of same. Hint – Select an object that has clear obvious ‘spaces’ such as a rhododendron vs a daisy.
