Week 1 (1/24)
In class & during the week: from Riley, draw a square until unanticipated changes happen and original form takes on a new identity. for homework: find something in your environment that relates to your class exploration of the square. Draw it from two different angles, thicken your lines, or if an object, draw it from another angle with thick lines. Spend one hour drawing.
Week 2 (1/31)
Spend an hour to make drawings based on one or more photographs in the ICP folder you have gathered. First, find a detail in the image that you personally respond to, and make a value-line study of it. Turn the page or cover that drawing, and make a second drawing from memory without looking at the photograph or at your first drawing. Feel free to vary your drawing technique as you re-capture your memory.

Week 5 (2/14)
Base a study on the Kurt Schwitters collage MZ163 with Woman (Polemic ppt.in Announcements, Canvas).
