a) Make a "dot" sampler, using the widest variety of tools and materials available; on a sheet of the same size create a "line sampler," and a "shape sampler" on a third sheet. Refer to this personal collection when studying the illustrations in books, observing the work of fellow students

b) Graffiti project. Use any type of mark making device to create an image or "tag" that is a reflection of your personality. Create a site specific painting using this “tag.” (Don’t vandalize property!)
