What is Automatic Drawing?
Automatic Drawing, or automatism, is a Surrealist art technique where the artist suppresses conscious control, letting the subconscious guide the hand to create spontaneous lines and shapes, tapping into dreams and the unconscious mind for raw creativity. This technique is often used as an artistic warm up, and is thought to be the most natural form of mark making and processing.
Automatism is also used in writing, where one allows written words to flow onto the page with no conscious agenda.
