This exercise was proposed by Eleanor Davis according to the following constraint : “Draw the thing you hate drawing the most. You don’t have to finish it. Just draw until you give up”.

Exercise proposed by Eugene Riousse according to the following constraint : ” Draw around the sausages “…. Yummy!

Authors are definitely inspired. Here another exemple of this creativity.

A few days ago, strange paper constructions appeared on the desk…Eleonor Davies was thinking about something.

 

Yesterday, we finally discovered what she was elaborating. She launched a new exercise : the “Secret City”.

 

The principle is fascinating : authors have to draw on bristol without showing anyone what they’re doing.

 

They stick it on a black cardboard so that only a portion of the sketch will be visible through a little window.  There will be a hidden secret part forever.

 

All put together, black cardboards build a “city”. Nobody will ever know the whole thing, each author’s got a secret in it…

 

To fulfill the “act of poetry”, the authors might burn this Secret City at the end of the residency…
