Drawing from Imagination

DP1 Lesson 27:
Dream Worlds

In this lesson, we apply the colored pencil techniques we learned to draw from our imagination and express our personal artistic vision. To cultivate original ideas, we learn and practice a technique for strengthening creativity: stream-of-consciousness drawing. Our stream-of-consciousness drawing serves as the basis for a more developed, imaginative rendering that depicts a dream world of our own design. As inspiration, we reflect on the work of artists throughout art history who have expressed their own unique artistic visions through the visual illustration of imaginary worlds.
