Automatic Drawing





One example of an automatic drawing.

For my first post, I've decided to explore the idea and practice of automatic drawing. This, along with automatic drawing, are part of a practice known as surrealist automatism. According to the Wikipedia page, this is a way of expressing the subconscious. The hand is allowed to wander in a random manner, allowing the artist to free him/herself from the confines of rationality and logic. Eventually, the drawing may come to include recognizable elements or objects.




For my teacher examples, I'll explore two different ways of automatic drawing and post the results.
