Movement
Then I did a further study of the movements in this preferment. I did some flow chart to show the running order.
Shapes
I then try just use shapes to show some poses in her dance. I realised it is quite hard to get what these poses are.
Fold
When Martha Graham performs this dance she is wearing a very simple flat purple costume, so every time she moves the clothes will create some ruffles. So I want to show that tugged movement by those ruffles on her costume. I tried paper fold; It turns out not as same as I thought originally, I found it quite hard when I was wrapping paper. I then use water color to paint the face and shadows on her clothes.

Feedback and Advice
- Dance studies with 3D elements?
- It looks like you are trying to capture movement, so I think 3D but do observational drawings of dancers to truly translate it? Ask to watch at Northern Ballet?
- 2D but maybe make the shapes more detailed?
- Experimenting with shapes is exciting but you should focus on the figures- they are more effective.
- The tonal studies of dancer faces are really lovely but also nice against just simple figures on the diagram flow chart page- maybe try putting figures and shapes together in a collage way.
- You need to further develop the quality and feel of your figures. Translate your reference, gesture and line quality.
