What you will need:
15 pieces of paper (all cut the same size), pencil or charcoal.
The human face is a subject that many artists have tackled in one form or another. Faces can be depicted realistically or very abstractly.
Look into a mirror and study your face. Draw what you see without looking down at your paper or lifting the pencil or charcoal up from the paper. This is called a "blind contour drawing." When you're done, it might look funny, with parts of the face in the "wrong" place. But that's okay. There is no wrong way to draw a face.
Now, without the mirror, create a series of ten one-minute drawings of your face (you can look at the paper). Experiment! Draw your face using only slash marks or shapes (circles, triangles, etc.).
When you're finished, spread your drawings on a table and compare all your faces. What looks similar? Which differ? Which do you like best? Why?
What you will need:
Long, vertical piece of paper or wood, pens, paint and found materials.
Totem sculptures have a rich history. (IMAGE) For some cultures, the totem offers protection. For others, it represents power.
Create a totem for your community. Think of a compelling story that took place within your neighborhood. Convey the story by decorating the paper or piece of wood with symbols. Use paint and found materials.
Now make a tiny totem. Does it have the same impact as your larger totem? Now stack furniture and large objects to make a giant totem. Which totem do you think is the most powerful? |
