Ongoing Project:


During this term, draw, describe, paint, otherwise document the design elements (shapes, lines, textures, colors) that surround you in your SKETCHBOOK. Bring at least one "Look Report" to each class. Examples of variety, balance, scale, visual weight etc. will also be included as the term progresses. I will call on a few people each class to show us what they've added. I'll be describing more details in class. Don't worry, you'll be drawing very soon anyway. This will be part of your process grade.

Examples (and they are infinite) include:
the textures, colors, shapes, lines (etc.) of...
cracks in the concrete
the space between branches
textiles, quilts, 
tiles and floor designs
cd covers
live music
magazine ads and layouts
