Over the past few years, I’ve played on and off with the Robert’s Wesleyan College Community Orchestra. As a percussionist, and one that can’t go to all rehearsals, I end up with small parts and get a lot of rests and tacets. (A tacet is a movement or long period of music in which a player does not play. Rather then writing out a page of rests, the music will say “tacet” after the title of said movement.) During tacet times in rehearsals I take out my sketch book and have some fun!
Here are my tacet sketches from late 2012 and this spring.
just a note- Doesn’t matter WHO i’m sketching, if I don’t like how my drawing turns out I add goofy facial features, piercings, or expressions. It makes a bad drawing funny.
