Re-Visting observation/description activity

My person only got the backround right. Everything else was completly jumbled up and looked like an alien robot.
If I were to do this differently I would be a little more descriptive and try to hint at what they were going to be making.

Giving up control: Pours

Describe the process of creating paintings through pouring paint you experienced today. How did it work?
Choosing the right base color was the most important part because that was the control of the piece of art work. When pouring you had to control the amount because if you put to much it would get out of control. When you had the second and third colors placement was key to how the piece would turn out. Also if you emptied out all of the paint in the cup you would end up with cool paint specs in your piece.

How did it FEEL to give up some control over the shapes you created? Describe any surprises
It was really cool and it actually make me feel like I had more control.

collaborative drawing

Today we made collaborative drawings, I made a picture of a giant penguin attacking a city. Then I moved on and worked on other people's drawings. When I came back to my drawing it looked great. I thought it looked really good, I only had to make 2 changes. Doing this exercise helped my picture alot.
Process, Drawing
1. An artist is someone that just creates art and pictures in their way. To be an artist you need to be creative.
2. An artist needs good insperation and needs to open up their imagination to new ideas.
3. To be creative you need take even the most random thing and turn it in to insperation, travel, and reading can help with this.
