Students this past week have been working off the idea of limitations in art making. We talked about limits artists might place on themselves in order to push the boundaries and push their creativity.
Specifically for this project we looked at artists who limited themselves to basic ballpoint pen in order to create art. Artists mentioned were Il Lee and Lennie Mace. We talked about the differences in their styles but still accomplishing successful pieces with the material limitations.
Then... we started. Students researched and dug through their photos on their devices to find a photo to recreate in ballpoint pen. They were given two weeks to complete it and so far, I think so good!
Stay tuned for some pictures of their work.
