Go Wild
July 11th, 2009Whew - I sure worked hard at this school.
A Guidance Counselor asked me to give the students
their choice - Did they want a tame Caricature or a
Wild Caricature.
Drawing fast, one of the Fun things about Party Caricature
is that we don’t know how the Artist would be affected.
It’s very difficult to
Either Come Up With Something Funny on command,
Or to get a likeness while toning down what you see which is creating that
likeness.
But there I was, asking the students which they wanted.
And handling high-school-type paperwork - checking off lists,
keeping counts….. Constantly interrupting my Zone,
the Artist’s Zone…..
But it was Okay. A-Okay, I’d say. A wonderful group of students.
A wonderful exercise for me. Most of the students wanted real Artwork
- something diffferent, something wild. A frequent response was something
like - ‘Ah, heck. Just go for it.’ I was On.
It’s late at night now - I’m just going to post of few of them.
More coming soon - I’m fascinated to see what I came up with:
