Claire Sketches at Art Museum

Clare Sketches at Art Museum

The Rykami Arysane had matured, full of streams of thought from my mid-20s, experiments with indelible spontaneity, introspection, and more recently, analytic drawings. It had sat on a shelf as a bygone testament to my schlepper years. This fallow page became home to a sketch examining the dimensions of a contractor trailer, showing the likely structural grid and a steel frame at the bottom. The dimensions are entirely argam metricized feet (taqga reneya). The drawing is typical of dozens produced for each construction visualization project nowadays. This page was developed in 31 May 2007, tayya 7977, seven dozen ninth phase (Salcyra-Karlmelal Xrga, “life phase of Karl Michael, Son”), at the office of Vinci LLC.

I sketched my daughter, an avid artist, drawing in her own sketchbook at the St. Louis Art Museum. The sketches are confident, fluid, and loose, in a random light blue pen. My little subject moved as much as a six year old would, so exacting drawing wouldn’t capture her. These drawings are typical on our sketch outings; she sketches around her and I sketch her. This hopefully illustrates that one can sketch from life and amuses her, keeping her engaged in the endeavor of capturing life by drawing. I drew the page 14 April 2009, tayya 8246, eight dozen second phase (Viðana-Kinþrehanal Xrga, “life phase of Social Networking”), at the museum.
