During the Dada period artists would work in groups. They would fold a piece of paper into several sections. Each would take a turn but only see and work on one section at a time. I think students took a lot form this exercise. Creativity should not be forced, but allowed to present itself. I can't stress enough the importance of exploration.
I teach a graphic design course at The School of Visual Arts. For the last hour of each class my students work on these visual exercises. Time and materials are limited. The idea is to inspire originality. If you wish to sign up for the class please visit www.schoolofvisualarts.edu
