Abstracting Assignment
You are to make a full value drawing on at least 18x24 paper
(no sketch) using any combination of black, white and gray media based on the
drawing of the cow skull drawing that you did in class. You are to abstract your composition (to the point of making the cow skull
image unrecognizable), and to refine it to make a composition that is formally
strong. The word “abstract” means to use the chosen drawing as a point of departure
for the new drawing. Because this
drawing is no longer recognizable, the formal elements of the drawing will be all
important. Edit and/or rearrange them in
any way necessary. Every square inch of
the paper must be worked to the best or most appropriate way possible. Plan it out!
It is better to overwork this drawing than underwork it! Again, this new drawing should not be recognizable
as originating from the skulls, but every element in the new drawing MUST
somehow come from the previous one. You may
be asked to display both drawings in critique.
There is no absolute right or wrong solution. In fact, there are an infinite number of
solutions. You only have to find
one. In other words, your drawing
(solution) just needs to simply “work”. Lastly,
you need to trust yourself! Good luck.
