Drawing and Painting 2 & 3 Final Project

Look in your sketchbook or at previous art pieces then use the SCAMPER technique to help you generate ideas for your final project.

Following the SCAMPER recipe, here are a few questions you could ask:

• S (Substitute): "What can I substitute in my art process?"
• C (Combine): "How can I combine one media with other media?"
• A (Adapt): "What can I adapt or copy from someone else’s art process?"
• M (Magnify): "What can I magnify or put more emphasis on when creating art?"
• P (Put to Other Uses): "How can I put my art to other uses?"
• E (Eliminate): "What can I eliminate or simplify in my art process?"
• R (Rearrange): "How can I change, reorder or reverse the way I make art?"

Ryan's finished mixed-media piece is a good example of how a student might use SCAMPER to arrive at an original solution. For example, in particular, he did the following:

C - combined drawings of muscles with the required drawings of the bones

M - magnified the muscle drawings

R - rearranged the muscle drawings by placing them in insets and moving them around the composition until he achieved the balance he sought
