PART ONE –Personal
Symbol (sketchbook)
1. In your sketchbook, create a list of 6-8 experiences/ memories or events in chronological order 2. Create an abstract personal symbol that you feel represents you and your personality. – DO NOT USE REPRESENTATIONAL OBJECTS in your design. 3. Include color and line variation as the subject of your personal design. NOTE: You can use your mark-making exercise from your sketchbook as inspiration if you get stuck. |
PART TWO – Timeline (project)
1. On a strip of watercolor paper, interpret and create interlocking marks that reflect the list of experiences you created in part.
Draw in pencil to start and vary your marks to ones you feel best express your memories.
2. Begin with the first memory on the far left and let your marks flow to the newest memories – ending on the far right.
3. At some point in your timeline, incorporate your personal symbol into your final design.
4. Embellish and add to the marks as you go to create a full abstract composition that uses a variety of art materials (markers,
watercolor, color pencil, etc).
5. There is not right or wrong marks, just have fun, vary your lines and use most of the paper provided to make a complete and
well balanced composition that you feel reflects your emotions, memories and personality.
PART THREE – Weaving/Haiku (written)
1. On a small index card, create a 3,5,3 syllable Haiku that represents some element of your timeline.
2. In a hall display, you will be asked to help weave your timeline in with those of your classmates and display your haiku to
create our own class installation illustrating visually how each individual has their own life experience. It is those experiences that
make us who we are and influence the stories we tell. -- As a group we each contribute to each other; our lives weaving in with all
those we meet.
