Me Moving

Me Moving - I am writing a class on drawing the figure and I came across an artical about Constable who mostly drew nature and most passionately, water. He talks about life being movement, how when painting the ocean, each wave and trough is a memory - the shifting form of it making the artist REMEMBER the shapes. Now we have cameras to remember, but still, we, as artists, need to revel in our visual memory. So I took a movie (you gotta love the Macintosh with the built-in movie player) and tried to draw the movement as I swung my hair around. As you can imagine, this was pretty weird! This is what I got, and I stitched it... Do you get the feeling of moving?
