Art and Play


This week in my art class, we focused on the importance of play in creating art. Each student had about ten minutes to combine (in any way they saw fit) a random image cut from a children's book and a random gargoyle-like grotesque stone face into one drawing. I had an image of a duck wearing an apron with the helmeted head you see above, and I thought this was a funny way of putting them together. It was really interesting to see the ways in which each of us interpreted the assignment and the solutions so differently.
