Please take a picture of your work in progress in stages as you will need to be able to document the steps in the process of making. Your work of art must be SIGNED by YOU in the lower right hand corner with clearly matching materials used to make the work. If it’s a sculpture, your signature must be carved into the bottom or back of the object.

After you have created your own, original work of art, post your final, finished image to the discussion board and write a paragraph about the making of this work of art. Consider the following questions in your post:

1. What is the title and medium of your work? What is the subject?
2. Which artist inspired you? Why did you choose this artist as your inspiration?
3. Why did you choose the medium you selected? What were the challenges you found when using this medium?
4. Did you have any previous art experience? Do you have any desire to explore artmaking further? Why or why not?
5. State the elements of art/principles of design that most clearly connect to your work of art.
