Create an Expressive Composition Using the Style of Robert Indiana

Robert Indiana creates simple images full of deep personal meaning for him.
For this project, you use words, numbers, and symbols to create a composition that expresses something about your life.


Today - Step 1 - Make a list of letters, numbers, or simple words that have meaning to you. Birthdays, initials, mulitiple meaning words, or simple symbols such as arrows, stars, triangles are good ideas to use. Use a pencil and paper to create 4 thumbnail sketches of ideas.


Thumbnail Sketches are Shorthand Notes for Artists:Thumbnail sketches are drawing quick, abbreviated drawings. Usually, they are done very rapidly and with no corrections - you can use any medium, though pen or pencil is the most common. Thumbnails sketches are usually very small, often only an inch or two high. 


Here is an example of a page of thumbnail sketches.
