This assignment can be completed from home. Try to stretch the definitions of Methods and Mediums!

Consider looking at the items around you:

• some toys are “assembled”
• flower arrangements are “assembled”
• food items are “carved”
• we “carve” pencils with a pencil sharpener
• when we wear makeup we “paint” or “draw” on our faces
• we draw, our kids draw
• jewelry is often “modeled” or assembled
• we make foot “prints”, tires, bicycles makes “prints” (all printmaking)
• Look around your environment, do you have any framed art or sculptures?

ART EXPERIENCE

1. Find images/objects of a variety of mediums/methods/medias in your daily life. Not from the internet. You must take photographs of the actual images/objects.

2. You must indicate in your description the Mediums and

Methods/Medias from the list below:

• Mediums: Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Carving, Modeling, Assembling

• Methods and Medias: kinetic, relief

After you have collected at least 18 examples, make a visual diary (tile images) of all you have found. Include this visual diary as a series of a few Instagram layout “pictures”. Please describe the Mediums or Methods and Medias that you are identifying.

3. Each “tiled image” should have a few photos, that are all describing the same visual element. Don’t have Instagram, that’s ok- you can do this on a Google Slide and then upload the pdf version of the slide image.

Use the same layout method from Discussion Topic #1.
