Kitchen/Dining Room Table Series: Life happens around your kitchen table. What can your kitchen table tell us about your life/your family's life right now? 
Carrie Mae Weems used photography to document her life within the setting of her kitchen. The series of photographs serve as a story, addressing issues such as family, strength, solitude, and sense of self.

Document the objects on YOUR dining room or kitchen table. You have the option of arranging them (staging) or drawing them as you see them while sitting in a chair.
​
Things to show in your work:
3-D solids, overlap of objects, where the table ends, objects closest to you should be bigger

"Designer Island Challenge

1. Listen to the audio message from me below!
2. Use the art materials of your choice to draw a bird's eye view of your new-found home. Considering what you know from the present and what you have observed from the future, how will you provide for the long-term needs (the next 100 years) of your community while maintaining the ecological balance and natural beauty of your new-found home?
*How will you shelter, feed, and clothe everyone?
*What will you do to provide health care, education, recreation, and transportation?
What can you do with a line?
Is it possible to fill a paper with a continuous line that doesn't stop OR touch any parts of the line? Use Darel Carrey's work as an inspiration for this art challenge. Use a pen or fine tipped marker to complete.
Do you see any hidden images within your line design?
