Concept 1. Using a change in scale, (from small to medium to large) draw three items that relate to each other. The idea is to find relationships between the items.
Examples: A word, a book, a library. or A seed, a flower, a garden.
Concept 2. Prompt: Ants are now as smart as humans. On a 4″x 4″ paper, draw what you think they could build as a group on the first day? … What would happen if they worked as individuals ? The idea is to think small scale and think big scale, then consider teamwork.
Concept 3. Find a small organic item, (like a dandelion) document by drawing or painting the changes that occur in one day. Look closely and show details. The idea is to observe how time induces change.
