Collaborative Drawing

Today, we made collaborative drawings. We were given a penguin to cut out and make a picture from. We pasted the penguin on to a blank sheet of paper and went on from there. We as artists started off with our idea and let our inspirations take us away. Then we went and added to a few more of our classmates pictures and also took away and edited. Then we came back to observe our own drawing and what our classmates had added or taken away from it. I was shocked when I saw my original drawing because it was obvious that some people understood the direction in which I was trying to go and others ABSOLUTELY did not. I think having other people work on your drawing adds and takes away from it. With someone adding to it, the picture can loose the original meaning but then you can come back to it and have a whole new fresh idea that takes you some where else, for better or for worse.
