My first big Intro to Design Project...
and I did it wrong.
The original assignment was to take an 18" X 18" square of paper and divide it into 20 even squares. We then had to draw a organic shape that went over all 20 squares and divided all of them around in half. Each square had to have its own medium, and in each square, two distinct patterns must be shown.
We had a syllabus giving instructions and showing the 20-piece square with every required medium in each square. Those mediums were shown in a particular order. I didn't follow the pattern suggested in our instructions, as I thought it was more of a guideline of what should be in the picture. As a result, my teacher said I'd done it wrong and gave me an incomplete.
Later on I talked to her, and she suggested that in order to fix my massive mistake I should save whatever original squares I could, glue them onto a new sheet, and create a new organic pattern and redo whatever squares I had to.
It's not unusual for art instructors to be a bit vague with their directions. It's rather unusual for an art teacher with vague directions to be very picky about the outcome of an assignment. From what I've heard, many a time students possessing great artistic skill and a knack for rule-breaking here and there have been thrwarted by this teacher's kinda ridiculous expectations.
I ended up with a B- in total for that class, as I decided to put less and less effort in my work. That particular teacher had also been rumored to base a grade on how much she likes the student. Oh well, I didn't like her much anyway...
This is the assignment pre-butchered. It was the last assignment I put a real constant effort into, and I hated to watch it die without a memory.
