For my linked lessons, I created a series that focused on the different forms of inspiration that can influence art. This was the PLO that I focused on: (Visual
Art) A1 use a variety of image
sources to create images, including observation, emotions, ideas and
concepts, imagination, memories, and sensory experiences.
For the first lesson, I linked to the HACE PLO about relationships and talked about how relationships (and the emotions of those relationships) can influence our art.
For the second lesson, I focused on observation as a skill for improving artwork, but also as a form of inspiration.
For the third lesson, I talked about sensory experiences, specifically music. The activity had the students think about the way a song or an instrument sound made them feel, and how that would look if they were to draw it.
I've come up with another form of inspiration for my own art. I had a dream the other night, the details of which have since been lost, but it included images of wooden ramps and parachutes. This has inspired me to start sketching a freestyle image that includes these two symbols of travel. Considering the above PLO, would this form of inspiration be classified as imagination? ....or memory? An interesting thought!
(I will post a picture of my sketch once there is more to show.)
the relationship one sounded really cool. I'm trying to picture what that would look like. You should tell me about it Tues!
ReplyDeleteCerttainly a bit of both imagination and memory! but drawing from dreams fits with imagination and surreal images that could not occur in daily life - the most well-known examples being Salvador Dali's melting clocks. I have seen a really good book that categorized art differently, as "faces", "places" and "imaginary places".
