SCORE FOR THE PRACTICE OF EXPLORATIVE DRAWING *
- Establish a clear and calm space for this drawing practice.
- Select a specific drawing material out of your personal drawing practice and your interest. It can be for example two pencils for the left and right hand and paper (either in a variation of size or only one format).
- Place the paper and the drawing material comfortably in front of you.
- Bring your attention to your breath and to your whole body.
- Become aware of your situated body in connection with the space and with the drawing material that you are going to explore.
- During the drawing process keep in mind the investigation into aesthetic thinking.
- Allow your attention to follow any impulse that appears significant to you. The impulse can rise from the thinking process, from sensual perception or observations within the field of ‘thinking aesthetic thinking’.
- Start to draw from a clear momentum and let the drawing evolve in its own pace and form.
- Witness the process of the drawing and continue to draw out of the appearing structure and the immediate movements of the drawing body.
- Once that phase of impulse is slowing down, come to an end.
- Wait for the next clear momentum that initiates a new drawing.
- Afterwards, take a moment to write down the main impulses and articulate the agencies for the drawing on the back of your drawing (Artefact).
