Homework
1. Finalize your logo (I would like to collect the completed illustrator file)
2. Field trip homework:
I would like to ask you to chose one piece of work in the exhibt that you really like and write a brief report about it. In your report I would like you to address:
-> The artist’s name
-> Client or agency work was produced for
-> The medium used (oil on canvas, ink on paper, digital, etc.)
-> Bring a camera in case you are permitted to photograph the artwork
-> In your report I would like you to explain why you feel this work is particularly successful
-> Address what the purpose of the work is (what was the assignment). What was it created for
-> I would also like you to research the artist – do they have a website? What other work have they done?

I will ask you to present the artist you chose to the class next week.
