David says, "Fatigue is when a muscle or the mind has been used almost to the point of failure and it requires rest to recuperate. Contrastingly, depletion is when our inner resources of energy have been drained—and this may have no connection to exertion. One can be depleted without feeling tired. And one can be tired without feeling depleted."
My student, Tamara sent me a fantastic blog by David Lapin. He speaks about fatigue vs depletion.

So you have the basic materials;
-A Graphite Pencil (HB, B, 2B etc.) -An eraser -A sharpener, and -Paper, or a sketchpad I want to tell you about two additional drawing materials I can't function without! Time stood still the second I ran through the doorway & into my mother's bedroom.
I could hear my feet hitting the floor while I was running & my own heartbeat in my throat. The air had a hum about it, I can't explain how surreal it all felt. It was silent all around as though the earth instantly froze & I was the only one moving. There she lay, cold & lifeless on her bed. I jumped to her side, and knelt beside her. My eyes see her & immediately fill with tears, my hands touch her arm, but my brain does not want to begin to formulate the reality of my senses. I threw my head into her chest. I kissed her cheek. I believe I was in grade two, when our teacher went through the class alphabetically, and asked us what we wanted to be when we grow up?
I remember answering, I'd be a teacher. As I got older, I decided, I'd like to be in the arts, a profession like my dad. (He was a signwriter) My father thought it a bad idea, he said there was no money in the arts, & after the high school, guidance teacher suggested I go into psychology, the family decided, maybe graphic design could be a good industry to earn money and do art... A best of both really. ps. The family are still grateful I'm not a psychologist. |
