Transforming News Photographs
We'll need a collection of news photographs as a starting point. Often, there are interesting compositional elements to such photographs. Using one photograph or a combination of several, we'll build up our own compositions. The aim is to transform the photographs through drawing rather than copy them. We’ll need to go for photographs that we find interesting and think about ways of interpreting these. We may work on a smaller or larger scale.
Materials:
Drawing paper, a collection of news photographs (black and white and colour) from current papers and journals, media of your choice

Using Movements
to Create Drawings
Subject: a leafy, flowery plant.
1st drawings - from direct observations
2nd drawings - sensing drawings with eyes closed. After looking at the the plant for 10 minutes, close your eyes, touch the paperwith drawing media in hand, move the way it leads you. The idea is to get movement into the drawing.
3rd drawings - moving and drawing with eyes open
Materials:
Drawing paper and any media
