Robert Genn, a renown Canadian artist in his Twice-Weekly Letter says:"It's safe to say that too much drawing can destroy form and pattern. Fact is, paintings are best made
of patches, not lines....But lines themselves are a way to understand those patches and the
underlying forms....
Joyousbrush painting incorporate the patches approach to explore and understand. It forces the students to rely on their mental imagery to paint. We don't pencil in before we paint. We paint directly on rice paper. The learning takes place in both ways. In realize what's in our mind, and to interpret what appeared on paper. The understanding comes from the form, and the image in our mind produce the form. This process connect the command center of your students with their environment. This exercise motivate students to integrate mind and hand in a more engaged way.
We painted plum blossom on Friday. The paintings are displayed in Shallowford Falls Hall way, including mine. So I will post another painting for your reference.
