Here it goes:<br />-organic vs. industrial<br />-shapes<br />-movement in nature (ex: river)<br />-control vs. free flowing<br />-visual descriptions (ex: wind moving using texture, shape, form)<br />Off of that Christine, Katie and I came up with these moving subjects that could be turned into a piece:<br />-water -clouds<br />-light -flowers (growing, dying)<br />-moss/tree (sketch on previous post?) -thunder/lightning<br />-leaves falling -sound<br />-rain/snow -time<br />-bubbles -blood/cells/neurons<br />-waves -smell<br />-steam -planets/orbits (not a huge fan, but it might work)<br />-volcanoeslhsap2RachaelMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06228872319254197123noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517117855336920692.post-82113876081909598152007-11-04T15:57:00.000-08:002007-11-04T16:11:08.180-08:00Concentration Sketches<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bzD9ZS-KNpE/Ry5dbK9B4cI/AAAAAAAAAA8/jUVXBag-ewE/s1600-h/sc001fe3ec.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bzD9ZS-KNpE/Ry5dbK9B4cI/AAAAAAAAAA8/jUVXBag-ewE/s320/sc001fe3ec.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129139746999755202" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bzD9ZS-KNpE/Ry5dca9B4dI/AAAAAAAAABE/_5oJo-h07FU/s1600-h/sc00203c36_2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bzD9ZS-KNpE/Ry5dca9B4dI/AAAAAAAAABE/_5oJo-h07FU/s320/sc00203c36_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129139768474591698" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bzD9ZS-KNpE/Ry5dc69B4eI/AAAAAAAAABM/vWXq9BbX2us/s1600-h/sc00203c36_2_2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bzD9ZS-KNpE/Ry5dc69B4eI/AAAAAAAAABM/vWXq9BbX2us/s320/sc00203c36_2_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129139777064526306" /></a><br />These are a few random ideas for my concentration.
