Why can't anyone explain gesture drawing the way Daddy Hampton does?

Everything makes sense now

Gesture is so interesting. We agree that it exists and is important, yet half of the education surrounding it involves defining what gesture actually means.

Huston also has a good, succinct way of putting it
>gesture is the curved line along the long axis of the form

Terrible definition, imo. Gesture is just body language, not cliched design

There's no point in using "gesture" to draw that pose. None of these teachers can even agree on the meaning of "gesture," or define it adequately (imagine how new students feel, trying to learn it!). Bridgman talks about "rhythm," which is basically design in posing the figure for the purpose of creating visual rhythms (repeating and complementary curves that direct the eye). This is useful in drawing from imagination, or to direct the posing the model if you are in a position to do so. If you are drawing a rigid pose from life, but begin with some affectation of looseness and curved lines, you're not going to draw the pose you see. So don't do that unless you want to change the pose.
