telling a story Name:

Expressive Explorations
Objective: You will use a variety of materials to complete an expressive artwork that tells a story based

on an object. You will demonstrate your understanding by including different markmaking, drawing, painting,
or collage from observation and imagination.

“I start with an overall concept and


direction, but then something else
happens in the process, something that
illuminates the visual memory and
establishes the right constellations, an
intuitive, overall view of the elements,
levels, dreams, memories, quotations,
persons, colors, and divisions.”

“This procedure is simultaneously


exciting and full of risks, it constantly
operates with the unknown and brings to
light the mysterious uncensored
ingredients of the past and the present.”

—Douglas Schneider
