SCRIBBLE
To cover with meaningless marks.
To write or draw in a hasty or meaningless way.
A hasty or careless drawing or piece of writing.
Illegible handwriting.
A series of meaningless marks or scrawls.
To tear apart
To modify in a random and unintentionally destructive way.
Often,
we associate scribbling with negative habits: It’s out of control, childish,
messy, sloppy or wasteful.
Word Origin and History for scribble. From Medieval Latin scribillare, diminutive of Latin scribere "to
write" Related: Scribbled; scribbling. The noun, "hurried or
careless writing," I responded as naturally and automatically as possible, recording
my understanding of the energy “trapped”
The type of scribbling
I’m talking about is emotional drawing from my subconscious, a way of capturing
the subject’s unique quality. It’s often hard to describe scribbling without
relating to almost mystical terms, because this kind of scribble drawing
records my deepest impressions, thoughts and feelings and these things aren’t
well suited to verbal (left-brained) expression. But
once I get started it all comes together.
These art works are made
with a digital program called paint. I began using only black and the pencil
tool .I closed my eyes so I could not control my lines and marks. I then added
white, gray and pink and other tools such as the color picker, paintbrush but I
kept my eyes closed. Next I looked at my images of sidewalk lines and began
drawing scribbles without looking at the computer. Scribbles are the marks of
preschoolers; before writing, before formal drawing. No thinking .Emotions.
Marks from the subconscious.
