Thanks so much for describing the procedure you used with your students! So often it is through experimentation that new doors of possibility open... :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05743900480139515536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772880795807797025.post-47857620304655069202007-11-23T07:25:00.000-06:002007-11-23T07:25:00.000-06:00Chris and Ambera...yes, I did develop an area to r...Chris and Ambera...yes, I did develop an area to resemble muscle structure of a partial body(not in strict proportion, since the dryed watercolor shapes somewhat dictate what and where you can go), and also there is a profile of an old distorted man just to the left of the muscle structure...tilt your head to the right and you should see it. I see lots of other figures, faces, and creatures in the undeveloped areas, but this piece has served it's purpose as an example for my students.<BR/>Oh, Ambera..I'm terrible with watercolors too! The colored pencils used in this offer me a much needed sense of control.T.Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212356206314447014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772880795807797025.post-41532620369144406722007-11-21T15:14:00.000-06:002007-11-21T15:14:00.000-06:00Todd, this is amazing!

It's beautiful, I also see a muscle structure, and plenty of organs. I'm seeing a large intestine, kidney, and possibly a liver. I'd love to see more of these, they're incredible!Amberahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110306327335390517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772880795807797025.post-82693162083121605142007-11-21T11:04:00.000-06:002007-11-21T11:04:00.000-06:00I see a muscle structure -- a shoulder, neck and b...I see a muscle structure -- a shoulder, neck and back of a head.<BR/><BR/>First I saw a flower petal with rich, saturated colours, not decaying, but a petal that has fallen and was pressed while still fresh.<BR/><BR/>My wife has done something similar with my kids (3 & 5 years old). Only it's more of a finger painting mash-up. Once you have some paint all swirled about on paper they see things and draw them out. Usually candy or pets. Two things they crave and desire.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07807241455306664615noreply@blogger.com
