24 hours to come up with your ideas for your very own artwork. What is it YOU want to do? What is it that YOU can do to demonstrate your visual interst and skills? Make this good, but do not worry about MASTERPIECES. Work with what interests you (but I want a good rationale behind it – a good idea as to what you want to demonstrate) but do something that you might not have tried before. Know that you will present this final work to our classmates, and me, as a product, maybe a future drawing assignment, maybe as the beginning of the next body of your work. Don’t limit yourself… don’t run with your first idea… create an artwork with whoever you want, with whatever you want, about whatever you want. Is it ok to totally fail?
