Today in art class we were instructed to bring in a small item that we would then translate into huge proportions. I couldn't find anything of interest the days prior to class. I thought I'd just leave it until the day came. Well I woke up this morning almost forgetting about needing an item, and still couldn't think of anything. I thought, perhaps an eraser, a button? I felt those were too simple. I then agreed, because I was running late, to try and pick up an acorn on the way to the bus. As I am desperately looking, well not too desperately, I notice a perfect specimen. My own zipper! Duh! The teacher was intrigued, I was nervous, and so I began to draw still life again for the first time in a long time.
He wants me to keep working on it, even though it's on newsprint (that's another story), and I'm just bewildered as to how I was able to do this. It's not perfect, but it's like the closest to realism I have ever drawn. It doesn't make sense since I haven't drawn like this in over 7 years. Now I feel like never stopping.
It looks nice, this is the exact same assignment my AP Art students are doing now.

ReplyDeleteOh really? That's cool. What tiny object did you have to draw?
