Hidden Sketches
In Hidden Sketches, I decided to explore how the audience would react to being drawn in front of all of their peers while being face to face with the artist in close proximity. The set up was simple. I was seated on a chair facing the audience, and they were seated in rows facing me. I would call one member of the audience up at a time and proceed to draw a sketch of them without them being able to see the sketch. After the sketch was done, The audience member then stood behind me, being able to see the sketches of the other members of the audience in progress.
Telephone
In Telephone my main goal was to create an environment that was enjoyable and light hearted for people. I seated the audience in a circle around me and whispered a set of phrases to them. The phrase would change throughout the circle until it finally came back to me, which I would write on the large piece of paper taped to the wall. After all of the phrases were written down, I brought out another large sheet of paper with the original phrases written down on it and then proceeded to grade the audience’s attempt at getting the phrases right.
