The Book Project...progress and planning

My original plan for my first page was a scene where a father is walking into a war vehicle going of to war, while his wife and children watch from the distance. I have not finished my first page but sp far my plans have not changed. Everything is going well but I need to pick up the pace. 

Giving Up Control: POURS

To make a pour painting you had two pick several colors of paint pour them onto a blank sheet of paper and tilt the paper to move the paint around. It felt weird and somewhat frustrating to do something where I had almost no control. Surprisingly enough, the paintings in the end turned out beautiful and the only way could could have their unique beauty was by letting go of control and leaving it up to physics. The paintings were very good because the paterns and shapes and mixed colors, could not have been accomplished if there was control in what you wanted the outcome to look like.

Collaborative Drawing

Today we made collaborative drawings. I enjoyed having other people work on my drawing. I let me see what I thought looked like one thing looked like through someone else's eyes. I learned that people saw the beginning of my drawing and interpreted it entirely differently. Having someone else working on a drawing of mine would probably not be so helpful, but maybe someone making constructive criticism.
