This was just a simple excercise we did on how to expand a basic idea and turn it into broad outline. We had to do this along with some friends so we could brainstorm even more randomness or just concepts out of a single word. Enjoy.

I plan on Colouring this later on!

After researching a little bit about Jon Burgerman and mostly just looking at his art. I have grasped a sense of imagination to a level that is really uncommon for an average so called creative person. All of his work represents a really vivid, colourful, funny, jazzy and playful form of drawing where he would take humans emotions or inanimate objects and put it into form.

Make them move and have a personality with the weirdest faces and figures you can possibly think. One of the things that impressed me the most after looking at 8 or more pieces of art, was that even though they look similar in the same style. He never repeats a character or face expression twice.

The last thing I want to point out and probably my favourite characteristic about his art, is that you can look at a picture or a series of sketches and since he has so many ideas put together, you eye and brain just keeps looking and figuring out what he tries to communicate.

So basically is just some simple sketchings to prove that most things we see, or in this case we drew below our knees, are made out of simple figures or a combination of circle, square, triangle, rectangle and ellipse.

Color tables

For some reason it will always through in black and white or really light colors in general so it ended up being less than 18 visible colors. Cool assignment Though :)
