Draw Like an Egyptian

Morning.

Yep.

Steps:

1.  Outer space.

2.  Inner space.

3.  Your job is to copy this small part of Gustav Klimt’s incredible “Tree of Life” painting in as much detail as possible, remembering Lynda Barry’s amazing advice about seeing images as maps.

Choose your music below (you can listen on a loop if you need/want more time to complete the drawing).

What are you in the mood for?

A gentle flute and piano bit of mystery by Debussy?

Or an up-beat 80’s pop hit?

4.  Title: “Inset from ‘Tree of Life’, by Klimt.”

5.  Date it.

6.  File it somewhere safe so we can look at it together during conferences.

See you at 10:00!

ps:  If you’ve never heard of Gustav Klimt, oh my goodness do yourself and favor and do a little exploring. It’s never to early to start buying posters for your college dorm walls!
