»The leaf turns into a torso. The torso transforms into a vase.« Hans Arp

 

We follow the transformation of forms in Hans Arp's sculptures with our drawing.

As Red chalk allows free-swinging lines to be supple and flowing - sometimes broad, sometimes delicate - it is ideal for tracing Arp's swelling curves and gliding forms. We try out the many possibilities of Red chalk, whereby the very position in the hand, the decision to use the edge or broadside, determines and extremely varies the result - consciously or by chance.

As we walk around the sculptures, we recognise and paint the movement: convex or concave, in the transformation, in the change in the small as well as in the large. In this way we loosen our hand, the drawing curves become softer. We detach individual areas and reassemble them, and (incidentally) understand more and more how Arp's works are so lively and exciting. The workshop is suitable for beginners and advanced students.
