Michael Arthur


As a continuation of the recent topic of real-time drawing, I came across an artist that constantly does just that. Though for Michael Arthur, his moments come from various environments, such as ballet, theatres, music, and everyday experiences like subway rides. His work seems to be percise but through the use of sketch methods.

Charette: Sketch project

J+Bs was the prime location for this

Inspired by Nason's recent post, and Woods' assignment, I think we should employ a small charette within The Big. Each of us have a week to sketch the idea of a space. Like many studio assignments, this one is completely open to interpretation. I would like to see each of us encourage our sketching skills. So take the sketchbook to the coffee shop, the laundromat, the bar, the bordello, wherever.
The city is often thought of as an ensemble of buildings and the people who inhabit them, establishing a particular way of living that combines the private and the communal. It is useful to remember that a city is also an ensemble of open spaces that are largely public, where private and communal life are openly shared. ~Lebbeus Woods
