Community Art Making
Drawing Portraits
Imagine a table with a very large image on paper that is a series of dots of all sizes. Invite people to come and draw on plastic that sits atop the paper and mark the circles as you converse and get to know one and other. Eventually you hang up the vinyl and an image of a face appears. You drew it together by coming together and created something.
