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.
