Street Drawing: Exploring Vanishing Points with Masking Tape

By Sheila Ceccarelli

Building up on ideas contributed by Paula Briggs and Sarah Wright (The Drawing Machine) about how to approach teaching perspective, I led an experimental session giving teenagers the opportunity to immerse themselves into a street view and explore drawing with a vanishing point.

Megan Boyd

Scottish Fishing Fly Maker

In a cottage in northern Scotland, Megan Boyd twirled bits of feather, fur, silver and gold into elaborate fishing flies — at once miniature works of art and absolutely lethal. Wherever men and women cast their lines for the mighty Atlantic salmon, her name is whispered in mythic reverence, and stories about her surface and swirl like fairy tales. With breathtaking cinematography and expressive, hand painted animation, Kiss the Water adheres to and escapes from traditional documentary form, spinning the facts and fictions of one woman’s life into a stunning film about craft, devotion, love, and its illusions.
Enjoy the preview of Kiss the Water below – the film is sure to inspire.
