I have been taken over by artist takeover @kidsownpublishing or is it hashtag kidsownpublishing – my ancient macbook doesn’t even have an exposed hashtag key…must be buried somewhere – will have to seek it out.

I did this doodle one time I was talking on the phone…looks like a friendly takeover by owls||clowns …who have been edging my thoughts lately, at first glance a clown might be an opposite archetype to an owl…the overlap of clown and owl occupy an intriguing space. One of the most compelling things about collaboration is how it throws up alternate chimera.

In the background I have been pondering both the creative and the collaborative process – it seems to me somehow like tracking – picking up from Curtis’s arrows, one found one drawn, the findings lead you – your senses are alerted a particular way/thing/- allowing other related things to cumulate about you – you follow almost blindly eyes open and looking in – art is tracking! exposure hidden finding

Today the computer in the classroom had trouble loading collaborate so we continued with facetime and ipads… lots to learn there also…but we did manage to have a play with a sketch app.

Students played with the tools working in pairs and finding out what they could do, I was able to squint at them via Ms Davey’s phone…am dying to see the results, though they were following my instructions each student used the app in a very different way.

Here is a “side by side” drawing combining Curtis “drawn arrow” and my “undergrowth” app doodle

Next week – layers 🙂
