DO IT

Tonight we talked Surrealism and worked on Automatism (where DOES the emPHAsis go?) by starting drawings from random inspiration or by just doing. The only parameters are that the drawings be 22" x 30" and use an entire ink cartridge from a new ballpoint or rollerball type pen. Stay tuned for images.

For our next trick we will draw from instructions. But first the instructions must be written. Students will check out Hans Ulrich Obrist's DO IT to see what kinds of instructions artists wrote for the ongoing project. Then they will write three different instructions to bring to class and we will draw form the instructions.
