DESIGN What is "Call and Response?'

"Call and response" is what we call the process of internal questioning you will have while making your art. The process of call and response goes something like this: you make a mark, or add something to your art. This step is the “call.” Next, you add a second mark, “the response,” that will enhance or improve your art, in relation to the first mark, “the call.” This way of working, or “Call and Response,” helps create more powerful art, because all parts, all areas of the art, are in relationship with the other parts. In other words, when one shape or addition is placed in the art, it is done in consideration of the other marks.
