I started out by asking the class 'what is an artist?' I wanted students to contemplate, does a person have to be good at drawing or painting to be an artist? What kind of rules to we place on people in order to deem them 'artist'? We then talked about the elements and principles of design, and I asked them to look for those things in Katchadourian's work. We then viewed some of Nina's 'Sorted Books'. Where did the elements and principles come in to play here? Sometimes the books are balanced, but sometimes its the words that are balanced in the composition. Lots of line and repetition. What if instead of creating a portrait of a person that looked like them, we create a portrait of someone based off of their books? How does Nina's art inspire you to be an artist? Do artists need to be good at drawing in order to be an artist?
