Learning How to Draw is an ongoing project, first created during my 2017/2018 residency at the Groton School where students from all departments learned how to Olympic lift during their scheduled classes. Their movements with the barbell were tracked by a bar path analysis app used in Olympic lifting to determine how straight the trajectory of the bar is.
I re-contextualized this tool by continuously tracking the students movements which would create drawings in space, capturing their successes, failures, and journeys. Their bar path analysis were vastly different than that of professional weightlifters and their process of learning was beautiful and messy. The resulting piece was called Learning How to Draw.
