Week Three Homework

OPTION ONE: Start a daily journal for the next ten days documenting how you create on a daily basis. Keep track of this process all day. REMEMBER, THERE ARE LOTS OF WAYS YOU EITHER ACT OUT OR THINK IN A CREATIVE FASHION- DON'T BOX YOURSELF INTO A PREDETERMINED IDEA OF WHAT IS A CREATIVE THOUGHT OR ACTION.

Helpful suggetions:

Keep records of image and written inspiration that compel you to create or that you have used as reference for your personal/school work.
Notice those moments of visual attraction where you see something in a new fashion or light - this can be actual "seeing" with your eyes, or it can be metephorical, as in understanding somethng in a different way.
Organize this into a single document and export it into a pdf.

OPTION TWO: Write a 10 page investigative paper on one of the three artists in the readings of this week.
