REPRESENTATION / HYBRID

Due: Project 3 Final Review, Wednesday, December 6, 2023 @ 8:50 am

Physical copy of drawing/composition due for in-class review, digitally submitted as part of your Final Project 3 PDF submission through Canvas, due on Monday, December 11 by 8:50 AM.

*A separate Canvas submission for Exercise 3 is not required, as this will be included in your Final Project 3 PDF Assignment Submission.

Objective

Exercise 3, the culmination of Project 3, challenges each student to create a final, abstract, artistic, and experiential drawing that pushes the boundaries of their creative style. This drawing should encapsulate the essence of your Project 3 - Place studies, while integrating various techniques and materials explored throughout the semester.

Guidelines & Process

1.Compile sketches, photographs, photo-edited visuals, collages, drawings, site imagery, and precedent research from Exercises 1 & 2 to create a visual narrative that describes your intervention and its interactions with people and/or objects.

2. Combine these elements into a single, artfully composed drawing, emphasizing abstraction and experimental style.

3. Use both digital and analog means of production and integration.

4. Incorporate the following required content and representation techniques in a cohesive and visually engaging manner.

Format

Final drawing/representation/collage composed on a single 18” x 24” Strathmore sheet (landscape orientation)

Consider this as a final artistic, manifesto-type drawing. It should be beautiful, explorative, experimental, and express the essence of your studies of Project 3 – Place.
