This is how I learn – a visual chronicle.

This is the first in what will be a series of beautiful words decoratively presented. Partially inspired by the decorative opulence seen in Baroque churches.

I see the Baroque application in churches as a mechanism used to amaze and captivate the viewer. A way to slow the distracted mind down and implant doctrine. I would like to test this theory and use it to reinforce positive thinking.

Eventually I hope to integrate these with interaction and animation.

I set about brainstorming which disciplines I would like my creative output to orbit around.

As I bordered the title of the brainstorm in a cloud I was jerked back into what I am beginning to think of as Baroque Doodling.
I can see where my mistakes obliged me to evolve decorative elements. I learnt some visual tricks and improved my line making.

As this is a mixture of original intentions, mistakes and subsequent adaptations the overall growth is hard to gauge.
I hope this spirit will continue to manifest itself and increase the visual interest of these drawings.
