(Left) We began the day by doing gesture drawings of a still life. It was a little way to get everyone talking, and to loosen up our art muscles.
After me were all introduced, we moved into an exercise called Words as Art (right)The main focus of this exercise was to get our students to begin making visual connections between written language and visual language, and how different words can be interpreted differently depending on the person. All in all it was a great success!
Word as Art exercise. The colored index cards has a word written on it, and the white index cards are what the students drew their visual interpretations on. We made it a point not to give students a lot of time on each card, it created some interested dilemmas for the students: they had to work fast, and couldn't spend a lot of time thinking about what symbols they were going to draw to represent the word. It was great fun!~Lindsay DiDio & Brenna Johnson
