Assignment 9.2: Weekly Image AssignmentAssignment 9.2: Weekly Image Assignment
Cut 12 6” x 6” squares out of white paper. You will use one each week and we want them all to match.
Using a black marker of your choice, create an image that represents SPACE.
Each week, create an image based on space that demonstrates the main topic from the reading. Think outside of the box, beyond the obvious visuals associated with the concept of “outer space.” Be sure to indicate, in pencil, which week the image was created in on the back. Please refrain from using type as your image.
With each post, please include an explanation of your drawings. This will give you an opportunity to describe your work (we have to “sell” our ideas often), and it will provide us (your audience) some information so we can understand how you are applying the week’s topic and how “space” is being considered. This will also provide a check for you to make sure you are satisfying the assignment. This explanation can be a very short paragraph. I’m not wanting or looking for a short essay.
Post your weekly image each week to the appropriate discussion board. Comments are not required for this assignment but are encouraged.
At the end of the term, compile an image of all 12 solutions in order and post it to the discussion board (12.3).
This assignment is worth 150 total points. Each image is worth 10; the final collection image is worth 30.
