Another design of his that has always stayed with me is the illustration he did for Columbia Records showing a silhouette of Bob Dylan with his hair drawn in colorful strands. The color and movement in this piece is just so great. It says "creativity" to me and it really does look like Dylan!
Milton Glaser/Bob Dylan-Inspired Self Portraits
Supplies Needed:
- A printout of the profile of the student (fill the entire 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper)
- Black piece of construction paper
- Stapler
- Pencil
- Scissors
- One 9" x 12" sheet of white construction paper
- Glue stick
- Black permanent marker (we used Sharpies)
- Various colored markers
- Scraps of colored paper for name, optional
Directions:
1. On the printout of the photo, use your pencil to draw a line outlining the body and the skin of the student (not the hair)--no inner details. Staple the printout to a sheet of black construction paper. Cut through both layers of paper along the pencil line (careful to not cut into the hair portion--you'll need that later).
2. Glue the black cutout of the head/body to the white piece of construction paper.
3. Cut out the hair from the printout. Discard the background. Place the hair onto the background and trace around it with the pencil.
4. Use your pencil to divide the hair into locks. Refer to the printout of your hair to see the direction of how the hair flows. Once all of the hair area is divided up into "tubes" use a Sharpie to trace your pencil lines.
5. Add color to your hair using the markers.
6. Write your name on scrap bits of construction paper, cut out and glue to the bottom edge of the silhouette.
Look at that funky, creative self-portrait!
What a great inspiration piece! Looks like it came out very nicely overall.
