The Doctor is In: Now, Get Out and Draw!

In The Doctor is In, Allan “Doc” Dorison operates on a specific part of popular culture.  This week he sends a field report on the Sequential Art Collective’s recent Get Out and Draw event.

Sunday June 28th was the second Sequential Art Collective “Get Out and Draw” event in New York.  This time, we gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  After weeks of rain, it was finally a beautiful day in Manhattan and we chose to start off on the roof garden, where it was blistering hot!!!

The focus of the first sketch was layers. We used a Roxy Paine sculpture entitled “Maelstrom” as the front layer.

The people standing behind the statue became the second layer and the buildings behind them the third, etc… After about 20 minutes on the roof we needed to flee the heat. We hit the new cafeteria for drinks and snacks… $3.75 for a bottle of water? I guess that’s what you get for high art.

Our next stop was Francis Bacon: A Centenary Retrospective. Don’t worry; no animals were hurt in the exhibit. The pieces were abstract and very dark. I loved it. Some of the pieces looked liked they belonged on the cover of a Neil Gaiman novel. I highly recommend checking this exhibit out at the Met this summer.

After going through the Bacon exhibit, we decided to draw again. We went downstairs to the Greek statues. I am always amazed at how much detail went into these works of art.

Having just recently picked up a pencil after not drawing for years, it was fun for me to have people ask us if we were “artists.”  Surprisingly, some of the public had even heard of  the Sequential art Collective and our roots, and for those who didn’t we, got a chance to talk about how awesome it is.

All in all, it was a great day. Stay tuned to the blog and Facebook for more information about our next Get Out and Draw event. If you have any ideas about where you would like to draw or have any questions, shoot me an email at Allan@sacart.org

Itse arvostan vegaanien ruokailutapaa ja pidän sitä mielestäni hyvänä tapana kuluttaa, mikäli siihen jaksaa oikein perehtyä. Mitä en arvosta lainkaan, on hyökkäävällä asenteella kirjoitetut tekstit veganismin puolesta. Tällä luodaan juuri sitä ituhippeilyn kuvaa ja kuvaa jossa kaikki vegaanit rastat liehuen vauhkoavat luonnon puolesta ja nurkan takana pistävät tupakaksi. Itseäni todella harmittaa tällaiset kirjoittelut joissa keskitytään syyllistämiseen ja oman elämäntavan jalustalle nostamiseen, kun asioista voidaan keskustella rakentavasti ja informoiden.
