Have pencil, will travel…

Okay, more line excercises. This one was simple, inspired by the hallway line drawing we were to come up with some action that was repeatable. A physical movement that did not involve the basic fine motor control of drawing. I chose to use my left hand, a pencil and set a duration of 45 minutes in which I would be drawing a recangle as many times as possible and as consistently as possible using a motion in the shoulder to make the mark.

How to induce a shoulder cramp.

 The results were only shocking in that, at about 20 minutes in, my shoulder cramped. You can see the results of the cramp in the drawing where there is a line that shoots out of the pattern toward the center from the upper left corner. If you have had a cramp in your shoulder, I’m sorry, if not and you want to experience one this is a good way to get there. I thought the spacial effect was interesting. A lot of people commented on the appearence of depth, like looking down a well. I wish I had something entertaining to say about this one, but I don’t so I’ll keep it breif.
