The first art - drawing painting - class for this Spring semester started with a new experimental technique. Our teacher Paavo Paunu wanted to start this semester with drawing since we mostly painted during the whole Autumn.
He had arranged a shadow-theatre-stage-like thing to our art studio. Two students at the time were given words/themes to "act" and express together with some props behind the see-trough fabric.
The words were everything from Shiva to worker's lunch sandwich.
The students on the other side kept drawing very fast croquis - from 1min to 2min (the postures behind the curtain were not easiest to hold on very much longer).

In the end of the session we spread out all the works to the floor. The idea was that all the drawings were shared/joint (nobody would mark their own works).

From all these works Paavo selected the ones he found most intriguing.
We look carefully trough them analyzing the expression and the use of line. It was sort of an inkblot test.

Very interesting indeed. Thanks for reading!
