(AP 3D, you can add mark making to the surfacing of your next sculpture). Use at least 2 different types for 3D.
What is "mark Making"?
Mark making can be loose and gestural, or structured and controlled such as hatching. Most artists work with a variety of marks in every painting, but there are some styles, such as Pointillism, where just one type of mark is used."
It is easy to think of a mark as a building block for whatever you choose to create:
- A single mark creates a dot.
- An extended mark becomes a line.
- A cluster of marks become a shape.
- A series of repetitive marks become a pattern.
Other ways to think about mark-Making:
- Intuitive - my students like this one because I will play several different genres of music while they use their medium of choice.
- Abstract Expressive - used with layers, overlapping, or asking the students to use the color that matches their current mood.
- Gestural - any medium, but the ones that are loose and smudge turn out so well.
- Printing - using eraser ends, cardboard, foam, anything that will hold a water- soluble marker ink and then stamping until it runs out.
