- white blown glass, sound, 14 art students from Korea draw a still life from the same visual perspectives. Drawing on white glass models (left of the video) made from the shadows of actual objects, showing actual displacement is compared to the ones that students draw (right). There is a Korean tendency of drawing depiction. Students learn to draw with guidelines that state what to do when drawing depiction. The Korean students may draw exactly how the objects look like, but they change where things are so that the drawing looks better. Korean artists brought an issue of reality and precision as a subject of mastering form. Through out the formal years of learning how to draw, their habitual has settled down into a trained lens to create a perfect still life rending rather than what they actually see. |
