In this lesson you will literally be deconstructing or taking apart your artwork and reassembling the parts into a brand new piece of artwork. You must turn in 10 deconstructed artworks BEGINNING with small sketchbook experimentations and ENDING with a large fully realized artwork. Your 10 pieces should show your evolutionary process.
Your last few projects might look nothing like the original image you started with. The original artwork might not even be visible. The first 5 can be sketchbook style small artworks where you are working out your ideas. The last few should be professional, gallery quality, ready for display completed artworks.
Make a drawing in black and white {or use a favorite drawing that you already have} and then photocopy the drawing onto card stock 50 times – or enough copies so that you won’t “worry” about how many you’ve used. {Take your time and draw or choose an image that you really love, and will like working with over and over} Then, alter the image in as many different ways as you can think of with colored pencils, paint, cutting, whatever. You can modify this idea and change it in whatever way you like but the important thing is to turn off your brain and just play with a repeated form and let your mind see where your ideas or thought process takes you. Create your own tight parameters… then give yourself a LOT of room to play.
