The art of RECYCLING!
Using everyday objects to create art
What makes it art?
Idea of something becoming something else, becoming something more
Intention
“Fountain” 1917 Fountain is a 1917 work widely attributed to Marcel
Duchamp. The scandalous work was a porcelain urinal, which was signed "R.Mutt" and titled Fountain.
Requirements
SLOW DOWN! Put thought into the composition, do a sketch first, decide on a color palette, etc.
Must include Pen/Marker and Colored Pencil
Complete the drawing first in pencil, then outline with marker
Bring a sense of BALANCE to the piece, and make sure the viewers eye moves throughout all areas of the piece. Attain balance by paying attention to:
Positive space/Negative space
Color
Line quality
Visual “heaviness” of certain areas of the piece
