Enduring ideas are ideas that are timeless and universal. Some examples are: honesty, trust, freedom, courage, communication and moods or expression.
One enduring idea I would like to further investigate for this project is Courage and/or Perseverance.
The assignment is to take an enduring idea and on of 3 given devices and create a piece. I believe it can be any medium, size, etc, so long as it clearly conveys the idea chosen and utilizes one of the following devices:
1. Juxtaposition
2. Transformation
3. Distortion
In Class Discussion:
We discussed the elements of art in relation to real life. ie. what is a life of value? what is a life that is full of colour / empty of colour? What kind of a line could represent your life? etc. This could be done with a class in conjunction with teaching the elements and principles to help students relate the application of the E's and P's in art to things they know and understand. It might also be helpful to put it into practice by following the discussion with a "drawing to music" exercise. Doing this exercise in a circular format would be a good lead-in to mandala's as well.
here are some examples of pieces from a "drawing to music" exercise I did with a small group last year.
more examples from the exercise can be found (here)
