1. Reflect & Remix

Consider the following in your REMIX:

2. Observe & Collect
This prompt is all about being a careful observer.

Choose at least one of the following "Explorations" from her book and complete the exercise in your sketchbook. How can you DOCUMENT these collections in your sketchbook in a interesting and meaningful way?
3. Experience & Document
Use your sketchbook to document your summer experience. Draw, paint, collage, write, sketch! Try and draw a little bit everyday.
