Architect Frank Lloyd Wright told his
students, “Limits are an artist’s best friend.” That’s because they
force us to find answers we might not otherwise have discovered. 1. Students are to draw a picture with only one tree, one simple hill, and hearts that may be any size, and any place on the picture. No sun, no clouds, no flowers – just a tree on a hill with as few or many hearts as they wish.
2. After the drawing is complete, the students use a black Sharpie to trace all the lines.
3. Lastly, the art is colored in, any color, any combination. I was amazed at the variety the kids came up with; no two were even closely alike.
