Mark-Making + Texture Play

Mark making  
creates shape, structure, depth, rich detail and movement:








Lets Zoom in on some marks:

 




One idea can be met by many different kinds of marks:




Developing our own flavors of mark-making:






Today's Goal:
To understand our tools better and expand our sense of what is possible - both in what we can think of and what our hands can do with the pencil/mark making tool


Today's Task:

1. Split your paper into 6 equal sections. 
2. You will have 5 minutes per section to fill each one up with a new texture of your own design. For each section I will give you a prompt to inspire your marks - but if you get lost and don't know what to make, feel free to choose one up on the smartboard to help get you into it. 
3. All 6 sections should be complete by the end of class.
