Today I was up in Smithtown and found an interesting house for my Inktober sketch.
Last night the Patchogue Sketch Club was invited to a special event at MOCA LI and hosted by the Patchogue Arts Council which involved poetry and sketching. Our poet, Terri Muuss, read us several of her poems and then posed in a way that she thought reflected her feelings about the part of her life that each poem was written about. As she read her poems we got to know a little bit about her and the horrific difficulties like incest, drugs, and loss that she has survived. Her poems are raw, emotional, and inspiring.
In the sketch below we did 5 two minute sketches overlapping them.
The very bottom sketch with her arms raided was in response to her poem, "Finish Line."
I like that the sketches channel the emotions with the poems she shared and described.
ReplyDeleteShe was really great!
DeleteYou are amazing at drawing houses.
ReplyDeleteThe poems and your sketches to go along with the feelings make a good story.
