Students will translate these experiences into a completed visual display for which they make informed choices about the most effective media to apply. Before drawing their pictures, students must share information about themselves in the form of a diary or journal. Students will record events in their lives for a period of five days. By recomposing the elements idea five different times, students reinterpret the directions and engage in divergent production, exercising facets of the creative process. While sketching, students will be shown techniques of vignette, overlap and overlay, and using false sizes to put assorted, seemingly unrelated elements into their portrait designs.
Students explore influence of personal experiences.
