part 1;Before you begin this week’s post, sit for a minute and think about what you watched this week.
We learned a lot about creative expression. Let us talk about it.
For your initial post
Why is creative expression essential to the Humanities?
Ethan Hawke describes creativity as a method of healing, do you agree? Why or why not?
Do you believe you have to ‘know yourself’ to be creative? Or can you ‘find yourself’ by being creative? A little of both? Explain.
From “Street Art,” choose one artist who uses politics and social issues as subject matter. What issues do they bring to light? Choose another artist who has non-political work, what is their work about?
Do you believe there is a difference between street art and vandalism? Explain.
Find and photograph (or draw) an example of Street Art or graffiti from your local area and post it here. What do you think the work is about? Is the artist trying to convey a specific message? What media has been used? Where is the location of the work?

DRAWING PROJECT AND CRITIQUE OF ANOTHER’S WORK- LINES, TEXTURES, SPACE, SHAPES AND VALUES-
Start with rubbings and add other elements, like lines or shapes, to create a non representational/non- objective image. See examples. RubbingTextEx.pdf
HOW TO MAKE RUBBING TEXTURES:
(Put paper over an object or surface and rub with the side of a soft pencil or charcoal or crayon etc. Watch the texture emerge on the paper. Rub lightly at first to see how the texture comes through. Rub on a variety of surfaces to get desired composition. Then add other elements, like line, shapes, etc, to the page if you feel the composition needs it for balance.) They should all relate, don’t consider them separately. They can overlap, run into each other, create a form….
Photograph or scan your image to a jpeg and embed it to this assignment discussion by the due date and time. Here’s how to embed the image.
