"Doodling Selfies of the Subcon" / "Selfies - Linien aus dem Nicht-Linearen"



Sliding in a split second like a wizard on the screen of my smartphone with my finger, that´s how I´ve made these Doodles All you see is me. Selfies of my Subconcious,in different moods,with different gestures and in different postures.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DOODLING

The art of drawing which is of more real importance to the human race than that of writing... should be taught to every child just as writing is,” declared John Ruskin, one of the most prolific writers of the 19th century. The Campaign For Drawing, a British charity established a decade ago on the centenary of Ruskin's death, duly works to raise the profile of drawing for all ages. The idea is that drawing is an essential and woefully underestimated tool for thinking about and engaging with the world.  

Drawing is “making marks with meaning," explains Sue Grayson Ford, director of the Campaign For Drawing. It is an art form but also a communication device, used by architects, archaeologists and mathematicians, as well as artists, cartoonists and regular people. From doodles to murals to blueprints, it is how humans communicated before the invention of language, and it continues to succeed where language often fails. Indeed, it is “the best tool we have for understanding and communicating,” says Ms Grayson Ford.
