fortune cookie project

have some sketches by Wednesday 9/10 and email me your blog sites
teridill@yahoo.com

Make a piece based on the fortune cookie I give you.
You may use any part of it for inspiration.
You can be literal (make a painting, photograph or sculpture of the actual cookie or fortune….) or you can be conceptual with the work and base it on the message/fortune.
Do some research on fortune cookies, make multiples, chance scale or color or context….

Medium:
Choose a medium appropriate to your portfolio.
2-d: photo, digital, collage, draw, paint, blockprint, etc.
Draw: paint, draw, ink, blockprint, etc.
3-d: plaster, clay, wood, fabric, wax, paper, wire, etc.

Size: depends on the approach you take-no specific requirement.
Craftsmanship: Treat every project as a portfolio-quality piece
Quality should be present in all aspects-technical, formal, conceptual. Think creatively. Do not act upon the easiest or most obvious solution until you have exhausted other possibilities.
Sketch and brainstorm!!!!
