How well do your drawings capture the gesture of the figure?
I think that my drawings capture the gesture of the figure well, as there is a clear sense of movement in the drawing that represents the models motion well.
How thoroughly did you explore the process of simplifying and “abstracting” the gestures in order to best capture your intended form?
The simplification started with my original sketches, in which I tried to just cut down the human form into very few lines, linking many limbs and body parts into one, flowing line. This simplified the figure into the key lines that I based my later sketches around. In my later sketches and diagrams of my sculpture I made these lines three dimensional, creating a simple, abstract clay moquette.
In what ways have your intentions change over the course of your project so far? What opportunities or occurrences led to these changes?
Originally, with my first motion drawings, I tried to simplify the models motion into the key lines of the figure. Once I had to make my figures three dimensional I could not have a stick figure, and thus i had to have some changes which included making lines into thicker, blobs of clay. This was the main transformation that I have encountered so far, and I am expecting to encounter even more transformations as I switch medium again, to plaster.
