Homework- Due October 4th
Your homework is to exercise the research and development stage of the creative process. You will do this by walking through the steps listed below. Here are the things you will need to bring to class on October 4th:
5 References w/descriptions
One-page typed document (printed out) with a list of 5 websites that you visited for your research. At least one of these websites must be an actual article (not a how-to, or list of pictures) that discusses some type of site specific sculpture. Examples of an appropriate article can be a newspaper story, something written for a journal/magazine, or something from Academia/industry). The one-page document must be printed out (no exceptions).

The drawings must be in your sketchbook using full pages(both sides when open) The drawing should show good use of the elements of design- line, form, color, texture, etc. (Note: These are fully-resolved drawings, NOT sketches)
In addition, the drawings should be informative; they should give us helpful information. Please be sure your drawings answer the following questions:

1. How is your sculpture physically organized? Show details.
2. How will the viewer be
engaged? Be detailed and use color/texture/collage to show this.
3. What formal qualities are you focusing on? Descriptions/diagrams in the drawings should address this. (positive/negative space, weight/tension, balance, representational/abstract)
4. What concept are you engaging? Again, descriptions/diagrams could be helpful.
