Resumen de A list of immeasurable exercises to draw

Miguel Guzmán Pastor, Ana González Uriel

• Johannes Itten noted that freeing and deepening the expressive ability of students is the teacher’s most difficult task. Recovering the children’s joy of simply trying implies avoiding a fear of failure. We present a catalogue of suggestions aimed at exploring ways to express graphically ideas and sensations seemingly without any direct relation to concrete forms. By “immeasurable,” we mean both without restraint as well as without any visual referent to be measured—as in compared—against. Many of these practices are linked to the artistic avant-gardes from last century; more than a few are older; and some come from Eastern cultures.
