Gabrielle's homework assignment

Gabrielle has been sharing her class at Asilomar with us on her blog.

And she gives her classes homework assignments!! I've listed the assignments so far... feel free to provide your answers. (I'm still thinking about it and will post them later).

example of assignments:

--Pick 5 words that describe the creative process.

--Two words. One describes where you are an artist, the other where you want to be.

--And... a great one: Conceptualizing a piece before you begin:

Size: what general size should the work be
format: Horizontal, vertical, circular, square or irregular.
approach: repeated blocks, individual image..
Style: realisitc, abstract.

I think I will try to adopt this plan when I'm planning on beginning a new piece.

Like the eucalyptus piece:

size: 51" x 51" (aiming for the Viking challenge)
format: square.
approach: block pieced background with work attached on top
style: abstract
