MIXED MEDIA

Assignments

Due Monday 11-17-08
Artist Statement for posters. 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):

1. The idea behind your poster
2. Your target audience
3. How your poster is persuading or informing your target audience
4. How did your poster change from your original vision?
5. Is there an element or elements (image, text, background, size, colors, etc.) you would still change now that you see the poster in its finished state? (Optional, but this is an opportunity to let me know that you still learned something about design even if your poster was not completely successful.)
6. What is the strongest element in your poster (concept, color palette, use of repetition to create movement or unify the poster, stenciled image, use of texture, etc.)
7. Other thoughts that would help someone who was viewing your poster

ONLY TYPED, ON TIME PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Due Wednesday 9-03-08
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.

Due Monday 9-08-08
SIGNED CONTRACT (PDF) 3pts.
