50 things list

In your sketchbook, list 50 things that make up who you are.

This list could include anything from interests, habits (good/bad), views on particular subjects that matter to you or even your favorite color/food as long as you feel they are important enough to be in your 50 things list.

Due date: March 8th

also added Janine Antoni to the artist list

Artist Research assignment

Artist Research Assignment

Pick Five artists from the artist list and write about them in your sketchbook.

Your research should include :

Why you picked that artist

What you have learned about the artist’s work

What you like/dislike + why

You can scrap images onto your sketchbook as well.

Each artist research notes should be at least one page. (Including drawings, scrap images)

Towards the very end of the semester, you will choose one artist out of your five to present a 15 minute power-point to the class. We will talk more about the power point in class.

All Important dates are in calendar (sketchbook turn in dates, final power-point)
