Art Fusion

At the start of my foundation year we were given the task of engaging in 'Art Fusion', which at the time I'd never heard of (Give it a Google!) and as a class we all had to do it together.

First off, we all had to choose an easle and 3 coloured pastels. We were given around 2 minutes to draw shapes, lay down colours ect. without creating anything distinctive or recognisable. When the two minutes were up, we all moved around to the easle on our left and did the same, again, sticking mostly to shapes and laying down colours. After a few swaps people begin to see 'things' appear within the drawings, these often develop into faces, eyes and mouths, which can still remain fairly surreal.
This is a video of all of the pieces which the class did together.



The week after, we were all split into groups of around 4 or 5 and had to create our own art fusion pieces, here are the pieces which our group did.






I'd thoroughly reccommend that everybody should give this a go, wether you're good at drawing or not, it doesn't matter.
