I worked with students from Oakwood Intermediate School in Allendale creating the Imagination Station. This project combined drawing from our imagination and from observation. Each person created a self portrait, drawing from what they saw in the mirror. Students also drew from their imagination. They had to draw crazy creatures using different weights of pencils. I also gave each student creative starters like, “Draw your dream home, place it on the back of an animal.” or, “Imagine you are flying, how are you doing this?” or, “Draw an animal, add a tutu, what is the animal doing?” Then the students made the letters for the Imagination Station. Finally, each student cut around the creative drawings and added them to the larger piece. The self portraits surround the imagination station.
