The drawings that starlings make. The movement they make together.

Talking about Murmuartion

We meet for the first time at IMMA. Alison shared her thoughts on themes we could explore the world about us my school…. Trying to find a common ground that would link to my (a) way of working through drawings trying to find that common ground to create a dialogue between drawing, abstraction, memory, mark making,movement ,spontaneity ,immediacy supporting the learning to find the link…

I started with a visit to the school.

We went outside in small groups and listened and watched the movement……..of birds in and out of the school yard……….the movement………the dipping and diving…….the movement

The movement       the listening

Movement drawing…As I was there I could take images capturing the movement of the making of the drawing and listen and record the movement drawing.
