Sparking ideas

I can almost see the sparks flying as the ideas are being generated for this final of three drawings for the skeleton project. I am encouraging each student to come up with a very unique solution for this enlargement drawing. Any type of drawing medium may be used. Some have started with charcoal pencil, ebony pencil, vine charcoal and markers. The students must think about the space around their enlargement. Perhaps contrasting colors, textures, or shapes would help make the enlargement stand out. Another idea could be to draw a new environment where you think it might belong. Or, put some skin and clothes on the area extending from the skeletal part you are drawing, as if we are getting a peak at what is inside. Let your imagination be energized and create a solution of your own.

pattern - repetition of shapes and colors to create a design.
