Project
-
We will create a flat design using any medium from the above list including acrylic or watercolor paint. Start with your line drawing and consider a simple design. Think textiles, patterns or a simple interpretation of an object or subject.
We will spend some time at the end of class discussing any ideas you may have for your Week 2 project.
Week 2
Project
-
Begin working on a 3-D piece.
You may paint blocks, paint an object, create a toy or a puzzle, or continue working with your design from week 1, by elevating it into a dimensional piece using paper construction or another material.
Let's get into the spirit of Girard with this exercise!
