How many of you have wanted to escape at times, either wishing you could go to another world or wishing the world you lived in was different? Through their works, these artists, Edgar Arceneaux, Roberto Matta, and Leonora Carrington all express concepts of worlds different from our own.
The first step toward our studio work for Out of this World is to hang a 15X20 piece of paper on your wall, or if you prefer since you are doing this at home you can just set it on your table. Upon this paper you are going to create a quick paintings of your monster on his or her world. We want to again, remember the different parts of the body. How many parts are to our arms? How many parts are to our legs? We all have necks, noses, tummies, feet, hands, ears, eyes, etc. I want you to pay close attention to creating eyes this week. I don’t just want to see dots, our eyes aren’t just dots. We have an upper ridge, a lower ridge and this inner corner area as well as an eyebrow. (Paint eye as announcing part.)You may choose to leave your monster with no eyebrow, that is fine, but the eye should be as I just demonstrated. Our last step in our studio project is to create a three-dimensional realization of our monsters out of clay (make your monster our of clay).
