more found drawings. these were found in one of my classrooms. i really hope that some of these weren’t my students because if they are, then that means that i need to become a better art teacher.

peace.

#9. found drawings on my desk at work…

dots on my desk drawer at work. my desk drawer is probably older than me.

15-0 is a shutout score in volleyball, not sure if that’s what it refers to. scratches. sometimes, art teachers need to just scratch the shit out of something. other times, there isn’t a cutting mat nearby, so you just cut with your craft knife right on the desk.

not sure. but it’s a pretty symbol.

peace.

#8. a new series of images…found drawings

found images are interesting. drawn. painted. scratched. spray painted. etched. rubbed. scribbled. doodled. burned. carved. sometimes they’re conscious. sometimes sub-conscious. sometimes unconscious. they can be thoughtful or thoughtless. sensible or senseless. on tables. paper. walls. trees. bathroom doors. skin. most always they’re simple doodles that are done to pass the time because the person was bored or perhaps it was a way to help them concentrate. sometimes they’re meant to inform. to offend. to annoy. to inspire. to educate. to assert existence. or to insert resistance. they can be for play during work. they can be art or vandalism. they can be intricate or simple. they can be racist. sexist. whatever-ist. in fact, most of the time, they are.

being a teacher, i see many around the school. being an image maker, i’m constantly aware.

if you see some somewhere, share them with me and i will post them here.

here’s a few that i found in a classroom where i teach…

there’s something about that little triangle that i found interesting. why would somebody draw a triangle? was it a conscious thought?

ready 2 party.

that’s a beautiful eye. the detail and care given to the drawing during class says a lot. but what? i don’t know.

peace.
