Process Art:
Part A
> Make a drawing with string or some sort of malleable length (chain, hair, etc).
> Think about the back ground it is going on. Do not attach it to a substrate.
> Photograph it.
> Dismantle.
> Do two more drawings, making now 3 separate 'drawings.'
> Print these out, or refer to them digitally.
PART B:
> What inspires you?
> Keep a running list throughout this experiment (think back to Apfelbaum and her inspiration of Power Puff Girls, hope chests and the works of Minimalist Donald Judd)
> You need to experiment with materials (wet and dry)in new ways and actions
> Use materials on new substrates
> Commit to a media that you wish to delve in further with
> Accumulate Formalist marks and shapes from this material and action
> Install in an area (any scale)
> Photograph
> Disassemble
> Reorganize again
> Repeat for a total of 3 different installations
> Print in color 8 x 11" minimum
> Bring in photographs and the actual parts that made up your installation
