✴ One-liners are drawings in which the artist's drawing tool touches the paper and is not lifted until the drawing is finished. They are continuos line drawings.
✴ Your eye can follow along the line from its beginning to its ending –like a roller coaster for your eyes. !
✴ Picasso worked with the one-liner technique in a variety of media. His subjects were lively and included performers, musicians, circus scenes, and animals.
• fluid • acrobatic • sureness of hand • capturing the essence of a character • deceptively simple • continuous flowing line • spontaneous • expressive power • suggestion of weight and volume • suggestion of movement
Your assignment"!
✴ For this project you will each choose an animal and create a continuous line drawing of it inspired by Pablo Picasso’s One Liners.
✴ You will be simplifying it to just its essence to create an abstract interpretation of its form rather than a realistic representation of its form.
✴ You will be using line expressively to suggest personality, volume or weight, and motion.
