In out of drawing it toward a bank. Head of the department of graphic. I thought the school of the Museum of Fine Art Russell Smith directed you you have your pencil and paper ready with a bang. Good evening. But then again to be back to talk to you about new form the new shapes the new developments in growing. I was quite pleased the other night Friday night when we saw those nice drawings on the on the screen I don't think that this stimulates me a great meal great deal till carry on on foot not the week with talk about this cylinder. This week we are going to talk about the chrome nor the Conan itself is very much like large week's problem in one then than in the Other than that not you have it in a shape in Bill here but somehow or other
then shape it really actually quite close lipped related to the cylinder itself I would like to first go back to the board and show you with a. Drawing on how it can be developed on a two dimensional surface. Well first of all let's just simply go back door a very simple little lips of the cylinder and I'm left standing in a bit of dirt like that you know you draw with me like that I'm going to have a little fun in the night if you're in the law don't want to take the life man you're drawing right straight on. Like Beth Ann Marie don't give up on it. Heating up like done. There you have a cylindrical shape not be quite familiar with you know that that moved him. Up on the other side like that
here and then you've gone wrong. That line right straight across not not would be your point. How did your family see how what can be developed in that particular part of the drawing here we're not saying that to be taking a night all or something I mean making a little split in the center. I'm going to give it shape here. I'm sort of me banging it out like this. You draw me a light put in the lawn so you get the feeling on the inside that I'm doing exactly the same thing on the other side like that. Then you'll go down. Mike that I knew would turn into something like that now you are looking inside of that
and looking inside a form at the top of it I could open it up than the one I am walking in a five or three uniformed being developed that let me add to that the night that I'm from this particular point here. Some of it talked about this being the founder of a cylinder. Before all you have to do then is to draw a line straight down like that and it just simply called it up so you can really really see that. Being you can form like that. That is your part of the drawing coming and going the actual cost of the slower moving in
space like that. I'm here you'll have a little more than a given time and I hope you don't mind not quite the way that it's in and you see in the other thing that it's very important info here event you're not in all of that power is right in that point it's very much in dissent and that's probably going to work on the night and to make a problem of that so we can learn to see that big can keep that under control and also make Got relate to the bottom plan here. Now I'll not go back and examine day. At a. Cylinder. Think on that thought you see that shape is very much in the same relationship in what you had before. I like the thought of here just a little bit of a simple little so you can get an idea what I am the one I like. If they brought in a little home on
that thing you know you don't have a large home but put that into there to make it a little bit out of the fullness of the volume right in there but they did this more when right in the air. And then a. Hard one like that oh something that something of an international shape like that now you see how those forms so that they move against each other. And then if you don't have shapes up this thought at home you can make a tape out or you could take your friends and say a lampshade or something of that sort I think that put out a great deal. However if you want to make a comb get yourself a good symbolic piece of paper like that put your hand inside like that and I'm going to do it. There you're saying you have a very simple cone to complete a little tape into a
haircut that there are none but an experiment without in all kinds of the rectum. Now did that scene with a light. A simple little exercise and I think that you will get a great deal of fun by trying that out. So I would like very much that your set of them still live the same alive for that and perhaps somebody in the studio might draw that from the next. Right. Now let's. See what can possibly be done. We've been drawing down that old hard can be utilized in the hollow that bill though they appear. We've been in the shapes of forms around because certainly that's what we're trying to find out how this formed can be us in growing the problem don't rock the name of whatever it may be. Now let's just simply first of all.
Draw a line like that. Something of this sort. Now I want to hear what I've just kind of suggested here but have you have a cone right in front there. Well you have another cone right here and I think that is where you have to call and not fight each other like that. You experiment with me again and how it will probably lead to you're going to have a little exercise in that let's say then. Slumping. Like that.
Probably has happened. Well what does that. Show is right in here if you are simply several indications on home and morning King of they call them in they one but me is so I phone call and I've been told that's just me and I'm just a little bit more to bring though. I won't insult you I surveyed the room only to have the feeling of that tonight probably go like that. Then let's see all right now let's get simpler and a little something like I did and then let's go on. You begin to see. They will want to see the best part of it. Format info there
are no holograph begin to carry out that pharmacy it hard. You know of a game developed part of it like a address or ashamed. Of it. Think it comes from the wasteland and all the words are really actually built up whatever little of the indications are. That cone not comment on a dot on them this haunt in filling in those burnt like this earn very little Baird counted the various began away from him in death by you I have here the goods rollers that own it and you see again how that begins to move in their spawn hear it coming on that particular day phone call and how that travels in space or something of that sort. I am honored city and I let's let's move this one.
There you have another case of that home moving into space like that. The back. And they had our day and I'd put another call in for that not but in the back of the hadis I made up a comb but did just walk around without the knot and then you see how that shapes up to a person moving in faith and it relates actually very close to that of a problem without the have worked out what can we cannot. Then you'll have this thought here coming up and. Moving away. Something a lot so that I would give you the feeling of
moving into space. Barry is a cold bird now the cold air your cone in the back but wait a bit is totally and draw it away from you into space you have been next and there again you have a cone shape. Now let's see what else can we deal with the thing to make it turn on it perhaps. Let's say that. Now let's say that some of you are looking out onto the conveyor rebuttal here. I might even have the middle middle bowl that beefy and they're so gay and wonderful on that stuff fit right in on there. And you know could see the thought of it tied in together. Weird indication by and when they see how that again had a very close relationship to the special type of Inform that we
had dealing dealing with or not and yet it's very simple and very massive in itself. Now for instance based on the math we're the first I'm sitting on the other side already could turn them around and then get on to the math on the side but they're going. In different directions here in the election to think of that thought about but nothing that I am particularly interested in showing. How did you figure that sailboat Ovi who form and it relates again to the problem tonight. Which is calm now that the infinite than your might probably have. If you more and more in the distance you are not religious in the Hundred how that power went further and further back than your might come down here where they hear all of that. And
that might be a hole. Well they're looking at the feeling out there on this section into here and you have the dish down the water. Problem with the church the pope thinks that that could be on the part of the cone shaped women so what do you see how. Wonderful that is still an experiment without form how that moved into space like this did in relationship. And as I said it's really actually become that very close to our problems. They're not here and auditing is a cause I don't want you started not with a nice simple indication of the form right in through there and now those that have developed up. To be just simply pushed to use an arm that be dressed up. The forms that move into space and this is this is a cold that is a cone and to see how useful that can be in the problem of experiment with the various forms of
drawings in the in itself. Now. What I and I'm very much still. If you can buy a car it is still. When your eyes are South where that cone moved in space because it's very important to watch. They learn to understand their accents the interlacing in the relationship with this center of power that comes down to this particular point when he is ready to lay quiet all important problem in itself. That's. Just simply in. An experiment. Just a little bit more. In their growth. The point that I think we ought to have a plan so it's
simple and it's really actually direct and if there is any question. Please. Right I mean for me if I can clarify to me God I want to got to be overlooked. Now you are with me. Again. Let's say about this here and this here in front of me like a lot of this thought. I am very new here either you will have the call like not on it on any phone and you connected like you know they are. In the Life that. They could get on like this. You're looking underneath that. And it got away from they get very slowly so you can really begin to feel that
they are that moved into space now. Then you go right straight up like you started with the other the other drawing the first drawing out of it here then you won't have this hard. I'm going to call on me it's right in the center. You see how those two together one moment in that fight and the other one comes out. All right in full. But your get this this and that but you can see that voting that people are not really actually very important in your part of your drawings. The thing about this here and there here why not go into the other side and be do somewhat the same over there come in at
a founder like 900 here. Not at all when I'm not. There you'll recall meeting like God in the temple then you have again the same problem right in the here. So far there's not been one of the like in Crawford but you know it is also hollow at this part here is the view that comes out at you like that when you don't point right in there appear to go away. Now that's very important exercise in that royalty you can go see it turn your tapes.
In any direction. That's I don't hear that. Go back and look at that a little bit but not say that being have another shape here in the back. This that in of a culture. This cylindrical shape. Now they're hot. I want to point out into here is to see that this here appears to be a full hour. The conference dumbass in here. Why is that because of this axis and this axis is in a different space relationship to go further back. Now in your heart. Your Droid. I
like you very much. To also experiment with that to show that you have absolute perfect control that there's distance info here that this or that spirit and if it really are really comes out that is so it moves right back in in space front and back in such a way because God will give you their freeness of drawing praise their own draperies. I think whatever it may be. I like yeah yeah. But just look at that again for a moment. Here in this particular part of the drawing you have then you have the cone. I mean if it naturally if it lies down last night that it wouldn't stay like that it would fall
down at this end. Now then just harden through you know you have your sounder axes rummaged. We're going to talk about this and that is a right angle to each other. So you family that falls down. Your point has fallen down to that particular point right in there with it for me right there. Here it would come out. But then your angle would be that or one like that now you experiment in that they got into a little bit of a difficult exercise so this point would lie on the table and come down to it. Bates Sander acted it at right angles. So they've gone back to that. You're in there. I like that here or in other I thought because it is actually quite interesting. Let's assume that you have a cold coming up tonight. Do you think it worked out so it really comes up.
They were heavy. I feel like you're drawing me again around circle me. Not complicated. Bring it on like that so that you not place this center. And I think you can deal with it. Yeah I am. Working up. He would call. It the common good when you have this point right in my head.
And parrot it right straight out in such a way I like very much to work on that little exercise like that. If you see how that moves out and gives you really actually the feeling of the horn coming out now I have a really neat onto sheeting that some of you have been asking up on cheating and then that will come in a little bit later on I may get to understand a drawing of this charcoal is on the simple your metaphor is that I'm using here. Then you can't go into going for the shade. But then you give me the give you the feeling that not common. Right I thank you very much. You like that if you that same feeling I think would be something that I would be very I could see as a
side problem or pride in not. This kind of a thing. Christ can be us. For many of our various topics we talk about boat they talked about other forms but it's not the boat but. How does a cold like this really actually relate to a ball. Now let's look at this a little bit. You're having here. This hot like that and then there's Santa Thank you Lizzie because when it comes down like that. Now let's say that we are afforded paradigm we are taking that here and really actually splitting it letting it go it's like you had taken a sort of a take it and I'm I'm beyond taking that thing in your head I did draw
it right back like that. All right your your primary on this. You guys don't know what that is you know and that's been the need sanction and the fear underneath I cannot yet see how that counted right through in such a way. You heard of this event in the field then. Then forward hard right in pointing hard at me and I have a feeling of emotion of the form moving in space and how again you can use that one on with another beautiful mechanism to do it in any kind of a direction and just have fun with and bend them in any kind of way that you say. Then their life I'm going to probably Now I like very much tonight to show you the drawing. It has been used in probably.
Nothing here you'll have one by Henry Moore. And you know if for instance the poet of the leg. The side arm. The other leg and this part right in through here it's leg here you see holiday I rarely actually live develop very strongly and massively are against each other and how the movement changes into space by using a very simple form like vigorous have been gotten from one sentence and I'm very good. I'm growing up that. So. Now let's go back all the info here. Oren see you some other drone. There's one here is by and it crossed so now I would like very much to how you see that really are just the very simple form of the you know the female figure and you notice that is really what I think is
wonderful in that particular drawing because it relate so closely to or tonight probably noted for innocence at this form in India will result. And they are there for all of our that and now that is really like there's a. Hole in which you've been talking about and one holds in against the other. And here's what you see then you have the form coming up and you almost to see it a little bit. Indeed rain in this part of the drone. No. There you have one by the Jericho. And this I think is in the extreme really important because they're practically all the made up of chrome. There you see one on the Florida Fish the designed into here the kind of think that people are all of those are really very related to the
knight's problem. So I would like very much that you will experiment with those various forms and have a very pleasant drawing down in the front. Thank you. And what not and then you're drawing from a bank and you'll see in the school 230 the Fenway Boston 15 you. Mr. Bangs and his staff will be glad to give you constructive criticism on this week's review program. Production supervision of the museum by particular Brian Todd. Produced and directed by Abbott life and you want to be ready with pencil and paper next week.
