Here’s the new list:
Ballpoint pen
Contradiction
Jim Dine tools
Dirty Water drawing with Sharpie (weighted line)
5 drawings on top of each other
Exaggeration
Mechanics of an Object
Less than an Inch
Art History Revealed
I hate these things!
Drawing with Colored Paper
Lonely……..Object
Random Acts of Art
Mundane
Manmade vs. Nature
Masking Tape patterns and Colors
A word and Visual Description
Free Space
All that and the Kitchen Sink
Loquacious
Messiest vs. Cleanest
Dot Drawing (only a pencil eraser and ink)
Object I found at this location (collage design only)
