Today we begin our first project. After going through the warm ups and slides, students are to place their sketchbook image onto the cardboard provided. Carefully, they will use an exact-o knife saving the positive and negative shapes that emerge. Once they are cut, students will begin by taking the charcoal and rubbing it around their image, they will take one finger (and use the same finger throughout) to move the charcoal off of the image onto the 8 1/2 by 11 white paper. To create a beautiful positive and negative shaped, abstract composition!
Because this class is a combination of drawing and painting, the option is available to complete the project in either charcoal or oil pastel, the students gets to choose.
