Activities Over the Past Week

In class, over the past week and a half we have described a work of art with the postcards, collaborative drawings with the penguin, pour paintings, and mapped the still life. Meanwhile, the thing that all these activities have in common is that we had to either draw or create something, but we to base it off directions or something that was already created. For example, in all of these activities, we didn't have the option to draw a painting that we wanted to, but instead we had to draw something that was unintended to be. As in for describing a work of art with the postcard we had to follow the directions from someone else, without seeing a postcard. For the collaborative drawing with the penguin, we rotated around the room and kept on drawing from another persons, without knowing what their main idea of their art piece was suppose to be. For the pour paintings, my partner and I just mixed different paint together and dropped paint on a piece of paper to see what kind of figure would show up with us just splattering paint. Lastly, with the mapping the still life, we were able to draw something that was right in front of us, but we had to draw it as that a person knew where exactly everything was. In my opinion, I really liked all these activities and I thought that my art ability got better each day.
