Process + Process (Mark Making)

Assignment: 

Think about processes that are traditionally not considered art: baking, repairing, eating, soap making, make-up, car fixing, playing soccer, horseback riding, etc. Choose something unrelated to art that you often do, and document mark-making within that thing 

Examples:  

Take pictures of marks that come from the activity you chose - i.e. the marks you made on your driveway from your bike

Attach a pencil to something that moves during the activity you chose - i.e. Doing yoga on a piece of paper with pencils in your hands

Guiding Questions: 

How can we disrupt standard narratives? What happens at the intersection between an art process and something you like to do? Where do you see elements of drawing in your everyday life? Make a piece of work and document the process and/or final piece.
