Introduction

You will be focusing on the pioneering Japanese American artist Ruth Asawa.

Her work was inspired by the beauty around her: spider webs, wings of insects, and drops of water found in the garden on the farm where she spent her childhood.

You will study biomorphic forms through pencil, ink, and watercolor. You will create three drawings and later in the month two individual paper sculptures.

Procedure

Watch the videos and study the examples.
