Numbers Composition
This week each student was given one 4 x 6 index card. I put a pile of markers, crayons, pastels, ect. on my desk. Everyone was allowed to take one medium. I would say out loud a number, and with that medium they would have to arrange it on their index card. After 15 minutes they would switch mediums, and I would give them a new number. Sounds complicated, but the outcome was simple. Original Typography.
Exquisite Corpse
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.
