Robots

The four pieces of artwork featured in this post may not look like robots, because it was the process that made this directive work. The group I did this with was in the early teenage years. They had varied disabilities, but they were a lively, interactive and tight-knit bunch.

When I explained the directive to them, they each received a bag of "robot parts". They were to paint and design their own robots, in any way, shape, or form they chose. Over the course of about four 30-minute sessions, they painted, glued, and embellished their creations. The outcome of the artwork had very colorful, shiny results — even a little bit of 3-D.
