The first assignment involved looking at something closely for about 5 minutes. Then the students were asked to draw the image with their eyes closed. For many it was difficult to let themselves commit to paper with eyes closed. It might not look good. We have all been given some subtle lessons about not being that good in art, but it is the process of experimenting and trusting that is important. Everyone is an artist! Some of the students created some interesting images with their eyes closed. Those abstract compositions will eventually be part of an original painting. At the very least the students were outside enjoying the sunshine.
