This assignment centers around the concept of synecdoche and challenges students to use scale, representation, proportion, contrast, value, composition and point-of-view. Students are asked to use a fragment of their bodies to represent their whole being, while only using humble materials. Each student is given a sheet of tarpaper 36’’ wide with a length that matches their height. The students are provided with white classroom chalk as their rendering material. This prompt was given to students in my 5-week, 2nd-semester contemporary drawing workshop for KCAI’s Foundations. Students had 2 class sessions (on sequential days) and the intervening time overnight between them to complete the challenge.
