Inventory and Self-Designed Artwork
This week is an inventory and self-design week. You will create a piece of artwork using materials you have in your home. The sky is the limit! Both parts of the assignment are to be submitted to Google Classroom. See the Classwork, Topic Week of 4/13, in Google Classroom.
Create an inventory list of items you have access to which can be used to create art. You can use "traditional" mediums (paint, markers, photos), but you do not have to stick to these. For example, we created buildings using spaghetti and marshmallows in class. Just don't use food without asking for your family's permission.
Create a piece of art using some of the items on your inventory list and share the art with me in Google Classroom. Be creative, have fun, put forth a true effort.
