Assignment #2:
Creating a protest work of art in the dramatic attitude of the painting of Guernica.
Take the word together and make a painting that expresses the word in a dramatic manner. Start by taping together 6 pieces of 8.5x11” paper. Use mixed media for this piece (watercolor, color pencils, house paint, etc.). Think about designing a special font for the word TOGETHER. Perhaps each word becomes a persons face? Perhaps each letter represents a different word related to the meaning? Perhaps you use black and white and color in a dramatic manner? When you are done make a photo and send it to ihs.db@yahoo.com.
