In January, students were inspired by Yucca Valley artist Juan Thorp (@thorpart), whose most recent Art Trading Cards focused on Automatic Drawings. For Thorp, Automatism is a relaxing way to make art using the unconscious mind, and the intent of ATCs is for them to be traded. Juan’s mantra, “Draw Every Day!”
The students experimented with this Surrealist practice of drawing automatically – no plan or idea – just draw and let the drawing create itself. Abstract images emerged, recognizable objects suggested themselves, and many images were further developed into other ideas.
