I am currently standing in the midst of 20 GIANT body tracings and 20 giggling college students. Their first class is tonight and they are working in pairs, tracing one another and cutting out the tracings. In a minute I will tell them to pose the figures. We are going big here, and thinking about movement and composition and fore, middle and background, but they don't know any of that. You see, these are not art students, but medical students. They are studying to become nurses, or lab technicians or physician assistants. This class, Introduction to Art Media is a stretch for them.
During the semester I will introduce these students to different kinds of art media. Tonight we have started with the basics: drawing tools. Here are two of the cutouts made by one pair of students.
