Warm Up 1 (Page 2)
Here's a place where you can publish your response to the Warm Up Exercise on Page 2 of the textbook as a COMMENT to this post. Also, I wanted to give you a better version of the image and a little follow-up on the el-bizarro artist that is Laurie Lipton. Have a peek at her awesome website: www.laurielipton.com Laurie's also on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/laurieliptondrawings and Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/laurieliptonart. And she's featured here: http://beinart.org/ (The Bein Art International Surreal Art Collective). If the image below doesn't do anything for you, try inspiring yourself with one of her other pieces - BUT if you do, please post it in your comment or leave a link to it because we'd love to see it. :)

Strewn amongst the many toys on the floor sat the doll; the doll with not an item of clothing. It’s porcelain skin cold to the touch. The toes on its right foot reached toward the stack of alphabet blocks. The other pointed towards the giant beads that interlock with each other. Each of her arms resting against the outstretched legs. The left hand sat limp and frozen, while the right hand was not there at all. It now lay palm side up in the corner of the room by the bouncy ball. The flat, icy smile upon the dolls face was more like a grimace below the nose. The eyes may have made that smile light up in her face, but the eyes were no longer there. The broken head of the doll from the eyes up had changed the expression from sunny and bright to bitter and dull. The doll sat there begging to be played with despite the lack of eyes, head and hair. But the iced and jagged edges stated play at your own risk.
I wonder if this couldn't be a poem . . . ;)
The sunlight shot thorough the window;a spot light on the evil in the room. It shines so bright, it hurts your eyes and keeps you from seeing the good on the outside of the window.
