DESIGN 1: MUSIC GRAPHIX!! // ART BOOKS // SHAPES!!

SOME OF MY VERY FAVORITE ASSIGNMENTS

SHAPES!! (a language of ‘found’ forms, then added to from the imagination)

THE MUSIC GRAPHIX!! PROMPT (tying together sound, story, color + form)

Pages from ART BOOKS after BRUNO MUNERI’S ‘Libro Illegibile’ (The Unreadable Book) // prompts focus on visual presence, like ‘rotate a number until it becomes a pattern’; ‘zoom in on an object until it become un-nameable’; ‘meditate on color’; and more.
