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

Masking Tape patterns and Colors
A word and Visual Description

All that and the Kitchen Sink
Loquacious
Messiest vs. Cleanest
Dot Drawing (only a pencil eraser and ink)
