On ArtIS 310

For the past two weeks
we've been playing a "game" in this class of mine
it started with us taking a National Geographic
and putting tracing paper over the images in there...
then we'd trace out the grids, or general shapes we found.

From there, we'd create a picture on a 8"x11" paper, with a 6x6 box or circle in the middle...
We'd hang our drawings on the wall, then.
We are then instructed to take two pictures from the wall,
and try, for 45minutes, to mesh them together somehow to make a new drawing
We'd hang that on the wall ...
Our next instructions are to take an image from the wall and try to take it
further than the person before it got to go....only for an hour though...
We'd hang that on the wall...
On and on this went...
we would have to research an artist, and take a picture from the wall
then apply that artists techniques to the image...
hang it up after 45minutes....
At the end of two weeks, the class room walls are full
full of some potential pieces, some...not so much...but that's Okay
because its about the process...
its about exploring how to come up with new ideas
and to gather creativity.

Today's exercise was to take a picture from the wall
and take a national Geographic
and make them work together some how.



The tree that's in there
was Originally mine, then someone redrew it into
something...somewhat similar........
so i took that, and some eskimo lady who was on the N.G. cover...
she was chopping a regular piece of wood...
but I thought....well, there's a split in the tree...
she could be splitting the tree......
and as I went...
The tree slowly ...slowly became a person...
and there you have it.

The buildings above are...
they're dancing together.
