MIXED MEDIA

Welcome to Mixed Media!

Assignments

Due Thursday 12-17-09
Artist Statement for screenprints. Write and TYPE a one page artist statement that addresses the following (you do not need to necessarily restate or number my questions in your response) 5pts:

State your metaphor and explain how you and your partner chose to visualize it. What were some other visuals that you rejected? Are there any other ways you could have visualized it that would have been more interesting?
Do you think the medium of screenprinting was appropriate for your specific idea? If not, is there another medium you think would have worked better?
How did you feel about the entire process? Were there parts that were frustrating, did you enjoy the challenge, did you like idea generating or stencil-cutting, but not printing, etc.?
What would you change about your final prints? Size, color, image, text, layout, etc.
Other thoughts

ONLY TYPED, ON TIME PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED. I WILL ACCEPT PRINTED PAPERS OR PAPERS EMAILED NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. I will respond by email to let you know I received it or I will let you know in class on Thursday. If I did not receive it, you will still have time to hand in a printed copy on Thursday.

Due Wednesday 9-09-09
Bring an object from your bedroom. Choose something that will serve as a catalyst to introduce yourself to the class. At the same time, it should be visually interesting as you will be using it as inspiration for a 2-dimensional design. (For example, a wooden box, although meaningful, will not work well for the next phase of this project.) Write one sentence, 15 words or less, that explains why you chose this object. You will share your object and explanation with the class on Wednesday. (3pts.)
