Week #8

This week we started a new project: Performance Art. 

We were given the task of setting up a performance that was supposed to last one hour. My strategy was: Tracing paper, taped down onto the table. Oil Pastel/Conte Crayon. I moved along the table with both hands on the paper, and did not lift the drawing materials off the paper. I did this on each side, back and forth. After 30 minutes we were told to stop, which is lucky because I was running out of materials. (I did not realise I would go through so much pastel/crayon so fast!)

At the beginning I was apprehensive of this project. But after about 10 minutes I really got into the rhythm of the movement. You kind of go into this meditation doing the movements over and over. 

I liked the outcome of this experiment and plan to continue on with this idea in my own project.
