Q: How are you using the letters / numbers / underlying images (newspaper, etc…) to create a work that makes you look more carefully – observe the images you are creating / communicating?

AP Studio Art: Let’s get a small concentration started.
Q: What materials are you NOT using yet? Make sure that in the body of work you are making (about 1 object) you try things you are not comfortable with.
