Choose “make a mark” or “make a sound”. Design and construct a collection of
tools that accomplish these tasks.
Your collection should include five (5) tools.
Materials: your choice
No size limit. Tools can be all the same size or various sizes.
Consider: Will you design rudimentary tools? Or will the tools appear contemporary? Or perhaps another word to use is futuristic? A mixture? Who will be using your tools? Adults, children, a person with a disability? Or maybe you are designing for giants or lilliputians? Again, can be a mixture.
Listen and Respond:

A drawing will accompany the final solution. Size and medium your choice. Also, what you choose to draw is your choice. The entire form? Detail(s)? An aerial perspective? Color? Or not? The drawing should demonstrate time and effort. The drawing is due the last week of class.
Here is a list of what needs to appear on your blog for this assignment:
-Response to article "Assemblage'.
-At least three influences/ideas that you thought about/looked at/read/listened to while formulating your ideas for this project.
-Any in process pictures, scans of sketches and/or notes.
-Professional images of the final solution. Take a group shot - the entire collection. Then photograph each piece alone.
-An image of your drawing.
-A written statement about your final solution. The statement should be reflective and discuss your thought process and your intentions.
-A written response to one of the stories (listed above) from This American Life.
