Collaborative drawing machines
Put RA artwork on screen. Working in pairs, taking turns trying to draw the art work while:
• One person is the ‘drawing machine’ and the other is the ‘operator’
• The drawing machine holds the pencil
• The operator gently guides their partner’s hand over the paper
• After five minutes, swap
At the end of the ten minutes, talk about how it feels to collaborate in this way, and how the ‘terms’ of ownership are different from when we draw by ourselves.
