Assignment description

1. The most beguiling mark 2. The oldest mark. 3. The most ephemeral.4. The most esoteric.
This exercise should be fun, exciting, challenging, irritating, engaging, frustrating, stretching, innovating, invigorating, messy, clean, spikey, smooth, or whatever you want it to be.
You can’t do it wrong – but you can do it well.
TheoryResearch the work of 2 artists whose mark making forms a fundamental part of their practice. Consider the context of the work and discuss individual pieces to illustrate your findings.
