Alternatives to Drawing



When I told some friends about our newspaper project (they are both art teachers, also from Teachers College, Columbia), they were very excited.  However, they insisted that I offer you some other options for creating your image.


Below are some examples from my friend's class.  Their assignment was to use a newspaper for the source materials for a collage.  Collage can be a powerful method to express ideas.  Unfortunately, we don't have time to do this lesson at school.  


Here are some other techniques you can try:

  • Cutting an image into squares/stripes and rearranging them
  • Combining stripes of different images
  • Cutting out a silhouette/leaving the empty space
  • Photomontage
  • Charcoal/chalk pastel in picture

NOTE: This is not an assignment.  If you prefer to draw, please do.  However, you do need an image to accompany your article.
