BINDER ASSIGNMENT # 6 "Don't Quote Me!"

Be the change you want to be in the world ~  Ghandi   

Whatever you are, be a good one ~ Abraham Lincoln

Many of us are familiar with famous quotes, and when we hear these powerful words, images come into our mind.  For this next binder assignment, find a quote that is powerful and meaningful to you.  How can you use the words to create a work of art?  The quote must be present in your artwork.  You can write out the letters, type them and then draw around the words, or cut and paste them into your art.  Pay attention to the style of letters you use and where you place the words in your design.  Composition is very important in this assignment.  You may use any materials you like for this assignment - pen, ink, watercolor and marker would be my best suggestions.  This binder assignment is due the week of FEBRUARY 25th.  Please check the portal for your section's exact due date.
