It’s hard to find a new take on the centuries-old practice of artists honing their craft through life drawing, but this film by Wriggles & Robins is really nicely done. Commissioned to help promote the life-drawing classes at east London’s Book Club, the duo created this short and sweet stop-motion in which the model is drawn and then dances across various easels. An exquisite reminder of the beauty of both life drawing and filmmaking – sign us up!
