Dibujando Recoleta

El Sábado 26 de Agosto los Urban Sketchers Argentina fuimos invitados a coordinar el evento “Dibujando Recoleta”, organizado por DyA Fest y Revista Summa+ en el marco de la Bienal Arquitectura de Buenos Aires BAXV.
La propuesta fue realizar un recorrido por el barrio sede de la Bienal. La caravana consistió en dibujar en 3 lugares destacados y con distintas consignas en cada uno a cargo de un coordinador.







































La primer parada fue en la Biblioteca Nacional y estuvo a cargo de Bruno Sucurado. La consigna planteada por Bruno fue la de dibujar los elementos de servicio y/o accesorios que encontrasemos ahí, con la idea de descubrir nuevas miradas de los elementos que forman parte del espacio pero que generalmente están en un segundo plano. Se dibujaron faroles, rejas de ventilación, ventanas, kioscos de diarios, etc, etc.








La 2da parada fue en la escalinata de la Facultad de Derecho, a cargo de Silvia Portiansky. La consigna que nos dio Silvia fue la del uso del color como una propiedad de la forma. Nos propuso trabajar con el color -fuertemente ligado a los sentidos- como fundante del croquis, para expresar nuestra percepción de la ciudad que estamos recortando en el papel, a interpretar y escribir un discurso a partir de manchas en color con libre uso de materiales y herramientas.



























































La 3ra parada y para finalizar la jornada fue en el patio del Centro Cultural Recoleta. Estuvo a cargo de Norberto Dorantes y yo, y se basó en realizar una croquiseada en conjunto sobre una lamina de 15mts de largo. Tecnica libre. Fuimos 20 personas dibujando en simultáneo sobre el mismo soporte. La actividad fue muy divertida y llamó la atención de los visitantes del CCR. Rápidamente se juntó una gran cantidad de espectadores.






























































































Queremos agradecer a Valeria Matayoshi y Summa+ por la invitación a desarrollar este evento libre y gratuito y por proveer de blocks de dibujo a los participantes y los sorteos de ediciones de revistas y libros al cierre del evento.

Recuerdos del Mundial 2014


5 de julio 2014 / 16hs , llovizna persistente

El Jesús inflable se bambolea... mueve las manos...mueve los brazos...parece que quiere abrazarte...y que se te viene encima... 12 metros de altura!...los argentinos que festejan el triunfo de Argentina contra Bélgica junto al Obelisco, giran a sus pies desplegando banderas y cantando "brasil, decí lo que se siente..."y se adelantan a festejar el triunfo de la selección argentina, derrotando a Brasil, en la disputa final por la copa 2014. Un cartel dice"no llueve, es Brasil que llora" y siguen los cánticos, los gritos "¡Ar-gen-tina, Ar-gen-tina!", las vuvuzelas y las bocinas... y cada vez mas gente llega al Obelisco.
Me pongo a tirar unas líneas...hace frío, la llovizna moja mi libreta..., pero quiero registrar esta imagen.

Técnica: microfibra negra- lapiz color libreta de dibujo pequeño formato

It is almost impossible to prescribe specific rules that allow someone to compose. However, there are simple laws that guide available for an artist manages to be able to create an interesting composition
We will develop the basics to create engaging and thoughtful compositions, starting with thumbnail type schemes. (Frame-work-­figure­-ground, composition and management, framing from the point of view, background vs foreground, an unusual point of view)

Workshop description:
This module focuses on the art of watercolor and especially in working the organic aspect of urban sketch: vegetation, water, integrated into the city landscape, people and architecture style.
It is important to know how to build a sketch and make it alive by integrating the above organic elements. The cities are not empty, have life, color and energy. So we will work with watercolors and learn how to draw these elements quickly and conveniently.
On the other hand, develop exercises where we apply the technique of the 3 colors, creating interesting harmonies without having to record each color found on the site.
The location chosen consists of two components: the beach, the sea, with its palm trees characteristics, people and houses. And the urban area of Art Deco architecture its interesting to working the architecture style and details.
Learning goals:
  • You can draw a sketch level organic elements in various techniques, especially watercolor
  • You will be able to integrate these elements into an urban scene
