Gaugin: Artist as Alchemist

Project 5.2: Storyboard

Context

My tutor for Drawing Foundations made a potentially throw away comment that “Sculptors using drawing differently” during our Assignment 4 review session. On reflection I thought this was important to follow up on as a piece of research, as to what the comment meant and implied. I can partly answer this from my own experience.

There is, therefore, a fruitful avenue for investigation available which could help move me forwards.
