Lesson 2
Directions
With your partner, you are going to play "Artist & Witness". One person will play the role of "artist", while the other will play the role of "witness". The "artist", with supplies in hand, will prepare to draw the descriptions given by the "witness". The "witness" on the otherhand will receive a prompt or image from Manders to describe to the "artist".
Witness Rules: You may not directly tell what the image is. You may only describe its characteristics (ie. shapes, line quality, textures, sizes, colors, etc.). You may not give clues - what it relates to or what it is associated with.
Artist Rules: You have no rules! Your an aritst for Lansakes! Just draw! You are free to ask clarifying questions however.
After each person has a chance to play each role, we will switch partners and repeat the game.
