At GWA, every art class is a treat. Students are always enthusiastic and eager to come to class. I feel so lucky to teach such an amazing group of artists :) But seeing students who are so into art that they want to stay after a long day at school -now that's dedication!
During our first ASA class, we shared some goals and ideas about what they would like to do this term, and then we started with some drawing warm-ups.
We looked at a Malaysian artist, Cheeming Boey, who draws on cups. We talked about his art and the kind of drawings we might like to put on a cup. After creating our designs based on either real objects or imaginary ideas, we took out the sharpies and spent the rest of class working on our styrofoam cups. It was a little challenging in the beginning creating the lines we wanted on the soft cups, but after a little practise everyone looked like pros!
