| Suddenly a face smiles mockingly |
Fourth Story ?
Drawing and painting Workshop.
The teacher has given the group an instruction : to draw lines that intersect in planes in a random way and then, with the result, make a drawing.
And afterwards they have to paint it, with tempera, using full colour as well as the complementary ones ...
Alicia carefully places the sheet on the drawing board, traces some curves and tries to see the hidden figures ...
Norma comes over and says that with this command nobody can draw ...She is clearly upset ...
Alice decides to help her and hastily replies that it is possible to draw with those given indications...
And to confirm her words she begins to draw - as fast as she is able to- something that will be a city and its surroundings...
The curves are filled, some lines are deleted, the planes are defined slowly, the paper is cleaned.
The colours, all of them, begin to unfold ...
Alicia absorbed in her work forgets Norma, who, standing by her side, looks at her drawing...
The city moves forward. A pot of yoghurt with a flower is defining the left side, upwards, the suburb ...
It is followed by the small people mountains with their domes and tiny stairs. There is a candy lantern and a moon.
Then there comes the residential area with the parks... Suddenly a face smiles mockingly from the drawing. It has a crown of leaves! ...
The sun is over a path on the left.
Below, the skyscrapers that curve towards the sun, define the downtown, and a lighted match over circles indicates, danger : traffic lights.
Across the street there is a building that seems to be a temple. Towards the right there is a bridge, near it a shed.
Just behind there are some curved leaves and elves dancing on a park.
All the lights are turned on, and all the houses seem to have faces! ...
Alice looks at her drawing. She is knowing it. There is still a lot of work to do but...
She turns happy to Norma. She wants to share her joy and confirm that she has convinced her...
But Norma has gone .
She will never return to the studio...
Alicia calls her drawing "Casitas para Viviana" ...
