Paper Shapes: May 12-19, 2022
The Mission:
Paper shapes: Cut geometric shapes out of paper and use them to make art of some kind - a collage, a sculpture, a poster, a pattern - anything you can think of. Use whatever kind of paper you like - construction paper, wallpaper, the envelope from your electric bill, a bumper sticker, etc. The only rule is to use geometric shapes as opposed to free forms.

Next Week’s Assignment:
Odes: In Praise of Unsung Objects
Write an ode to something you wouldn’t ordinarily find elevated to the level of prosaic tribute but couldn’t get by without nonetheless. I mean, isn’t it high time we extolled the virtues of double-sided tape? Pablo Neruda was the king of odes to everyday objects praising, among other things, his socks and his cranium.
Write in whatever tone you’d like and feel free to look up the stylistic traits of odes, just give attention this week to something which you tend to take for granted.
Bonus points if you include a picture of the praised object.
