A fine art piece. For students who would like to get away from the computer, you can create a physical piece of art. This could be drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, junk art, or some other physical art piece. It might also involve dance, performance, and/ or writing. You will submit it to your blog, so it will have to eventually be in a digital format, but you can begin the process in whichever way you want to. Please know that you will have to do work outside of class time if you choose this option.
