An introduction to Drawing- Making the invisible visible

For this project we are going to take a phenomenological approach to drawing. Phenomenologists tend to believe that objects in the natural and cultural worlds can be made evident and thus known. This project is going to look at how we can use drawing to communicate something of this through exploring and drawing our body’s relationship with gravity and space.

The questions we will ask are:

• Can we develop a mark making methodology that allows us to explore and communicate visually something of our physical existence without using the image of the body?

• Is it possible to draw what our relationship is to gravity/space and what it feels like?

• Can we make the invisible visible?

• Can we share an understanding of this abstract visualisation.
