Minor Assignment #1

WK 1 TU JAN 29 a place to begin ... I am excited about beginning our new semester together! For a starting place, I would like for each of you to go to my professional website at  www.jenpepper.com and look at a series of drawings from 2017 called Thaw. The link above will take you directly to the drawing page. Please select one drawing from the group and describe what you see: How is line operating? Does the color remind you of anything from the world-at-large? What do you imagine the larger 'bubble' pink shape to be? What ideas do you perceive in reading the brief project statement? Remember, there are no 'wrong' answers here. Rather, I am simply interested in what the drawing you have selected is communicating to you. There are two pages of these drawings, so make sure you tab over to 2/2 at the lower right edge of the page post. Specifics: 2 paragraphs, 200 words hardcopy DUE next class TH JAN 31
