My little Canon is always in my pocket. In class I take shots of students’ works in progress, of the view of the lake, of the photogenic mess in the sink, of finished work and even of unassuming students. I think it must have been E.M.’s white shirt and black cap that made the shutter click. Once the photos were on the computer screen, I immediately saw the repetition of the square/rectangle motif. (It’s easier 
to see this when the photo is black/white.)
I couldn’t resist. I treated myself to an afternoon of drawing.
To start, a sketch in china marker, 11 x 8½. Having learned from that exploration, I did a second drawing, 14 x 11, in china marker and Stabilo pencil.
Another drawing followed. More on that and students’ reaction in the next post.
