  • 2.1P: Engage in making a work of art or design without having a preconceived plan.
  • Take this can, bottle, object, whatever I have set out in front of you and REPEAT the idea in as many ways as you possibly can. Look at how Warhol used the store shelves as the impetus (idea) for so many of his artworks… The same image over and over and over.
Here is one of his MANY works: http://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/inside_out/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/soup-cans-grid.jpg
