Assignment #2 Due Wednesday Feb. 27

The assignment will be “turned in” and presented on Wednesday 27 February during class. The group will present in front of class their Awareness Wearebel concept to the rest of their peers. The presentation will be a maximum of 10 minutes. Be sure to include a visual presentation of your concept in any format the group chooses (powerpoint, video, collage, poster, sketch, mood board, apparel). Each group can decide what to do with visual presentation; you can either choose a person who keeps it, or, you can turn in your visual for the 2019 Art 3110 class collection (more info about this on monday).
