Interactive Drawing

Today's challenge is to make a drawing or series of drawings that interact with a real-life object. Look at some of the artists highlighted here and the following video.

All you need is a paper, pencil, and a few objects. You can add colour or ink if you want to. 
Take a look around and grab several things you can use. School supplies or food can be interesting shapes to start from. Place it on the page and see what kinds of ideas come to mind. It might take a few drawings to warm up and get some good ideas going. Victor Nunes always fills a whole page with ideas that come from using one object. Keep drawing and see which ones are the most successful.

Hello students and families! My name is Hannah Abma (she/her) and I teach art (grade 7-9) and humanities (grade 9) at Willow Park. I am passionate about teaching art and art history and how it connects to so many things! I enjoy painting, ceramics and embroidery and especially like find unexpected beauty through scientific imagery, or in everyday life. In my spare time I love hiking, baking, and indoor gardening with my partner Danny and my dog Yams. Thank you for welcoming me into the community and working with me as we move forward with a creative and adaptive mindset to artistic expression these next few months! I look forward to continuing to learn with you all. Feel free to contact me at htabma@cbe.ab.ca All the best, Ms. Abma
