INSPIRATION: Examine the relief carving from the Bharhut Stupa (Fig 10.8, page 219). How is the Buddha represented in this work? What other images were used by Buddhist artists to symbolize the founder of their religion? Would you describe this particular relief as complex or simple? What makes it so?

PROCESS:

Choose a well-known person to serve as the subject for this drawing. Do not reveal your choice to any other member of the class. On the sheet of paper, list as many visual symbols associated with your subject as you can.
On the white drawing paper, complete a composition made up of each of the symbols on your list. Draw these symbols on your list. Draw these symbols in a variety of sizes and overlap them to create a complex composition.. Use a variety of lines, create different simulated textures, and add shading.
Exhibit your drawing with those completed by other members of the class. Try to identify the subject of each drawing by "reading" and interpreting the symbols.
