One
. Go to the ICA and see the Charline Von Heyl's show.
. Study her compositions, marks within the shapes, tone and juxtapositions thereof.
. Think of each painting as it were a poem and how abstraction can provide a subtle meaning. Think of what happens when your point of reference (personal experiences) and subjectivity collides with abstract works of art which come from a very specific point of view. Write your opinions about the show as it relates to "meaning".
Two
. Select a poem, lyrics of a song, haiku, etc...
. Choose certain objects that may relate to the meaning, sentiment, idea of the poem (for instance, use a bottle for the word "drunk", or a feather for the word "forlorn", etc...). Use your own subjectivity and point of reference for this.
. Set up your still life in a composition which interprets the poem (think how abstract shapes, angles and directions may induce certain expressions). Use your imagination. Think of the flow of the poem.
Layer at least 10 different compositions of the same objects on top of one another. The drawing must be at least 18x18 or larger.
Lastly erase certain lines in order to create a new composition.
* ALL DRAWING MUST BE FROM OBSERVATION. THIS GOES FOR EVERY TIME YOU DRAW EACH NEW COMPOSITION.
