An artist uses reference material when creating art, rather than just drawing from his or her head. You are here as an artist to gather as many images you can to use as visual reference for your sculpture, which will depict your personal identity: past, present and future. Using your brainstorming sheet, you will be searching for images to use as visual reference.
Your goal is to collect 10-15 images of high resolution, and put them into a Word document to print out for use in the Art Room.
- Use the Brainstorm sheet! On it you should have listed as much as you can about yourself using the prompts.
- Use the internet sites below as a start for your image search. Given that we are a diverse group of people, everyone’s interests may not be found in these sites. In that case, use a search engine like Google to find your images.
- Don’t be satisfied with only one image! Find different photos or pictures with different angles or sizes! The images should be as high resolution as possible.
- You may change your mind about things once you get drawing, so you are trying to get as much as possible so you have CHOICES as an artist! Remember you have a lot of sculpture to paint.
