Sketchbook 3, Image 4

This image is part of a larger series within the sketchbook of several characters in anachronistic dress that are dancing. While this series does focus on the theme of expressiveness from the selective usage of line, it also focuses on the element of movement. The series and this image, in particular, create characters that seem to be floating through the composition. This is the second of the major themes investigated by Parsons in this sketchbook. The creation of movement and momentum within an image can be some of the most challenging, yet evocative, elements that give life to a composition.
