Striped Figures


(Suggestive Narrative)





Materials:
White and Black Chalk on Canson MiTeintes Paper






Many Artists strive to tell a story; sometimes those stories are completed through the imagination of the viewer. Students looked at a deconstructed still life of skeletons and objects draped with striped fabric, arranging them in unique positions and configurations. The placement of the figures suggested a wide variety of mysterious psychological implications, open to interpretation and conjecture.


Think about COMPOSITION (formal elements) and it’s implication on NARRATIVE and read. As the artist you must be aware of the story you are telling or implying—write this down! After completion of your composition I want you to step back and take a moment with this image. Sit and converse with it. What are you reading in frame now? Has this narrative shifted? Is there depth to your storyline? Is it clear? Convoluted? Write this new read down.
