Even if our GOALS are the same or similar… it is still important for you to consider and deal with so that you are processing the information and think about how you are using it during the period and artwork.

Another clever thought about art… Do you know what “product” Andy Warhol recreated (hundreds of times) that helped to make him famous? He was a POP artist in the 1960’s. You PROBABLY have some of these in your cupboard at home (not the Warhol versions but the kind you would find in the grocery store). (I love Andy Warhol’s work.)

What sort of problems did you encounter today? What questions came up? What solutions got used? How did you contend with working in a group? Share with your neighbor.
