Art Exercises

 

In class today, we did a few different exercises. The first one was called 60 seconds and this was an activity where the class was able to look at this painting for 60 seconds and try to memorize the way things looked, and then draw from memory what we thought it should look like. The second activity was called the curator and this one involved a stack of different photos on each table where we were instructed to choose three of them and then come up with a title and a subtitle describing the pieces we chose. Mine was called "Blue Bliss - Paintings using blue oil" because I picked three pictures that were all the same color. The third activity was called frozen moment and this was a fun activity where our table groups got to act out a certain picture and the class had to guess which one they thought it was. The fourth activity was called visual analysis and in this activity you paired off with someone and you both picked a photo and then described them to one another and based on what your partner told you, is how you decided what to draw. The last activity was called list and draw and this was where the class was given a list of different items to draw and we got to decide how and where we wanted to place them on our paper. All of these exercises are great for students to be able to use their creativity and to help them think outside of the box, plus they are fun!
