I’m not looking for a research paper. I want you to describe what you drew and how you incorporated “space” and the week’s topic, framing. What you posted tells me nothing. Everything you write in college is not a research paper. It would help to put things into your own words, like talking to someone.

1. Describe the elements and principles of design in print and web examples.
2. Demonstrate the application of the elements and principles of design in various media.
3. Apply critical thinking to issues associated with graphic design when assessing solutions. Assignment 10.2: Weekly Image AssignmentAssignment 10.2: Weekly Image Assignment
Cut 12 6” x 6” squares out of white paper. You will use one each week and we want them all to match.
Using a black marker of your choice, create an image that represents SPACE.
Each week, create an image based on space that demonstrates the main topic from the reading. Think outside of the box, beyond the obvious visuals associated with the concept of “outer space.” Be sure to indicate, in pencil, which week the image was created in on the back. Please refrain from using type as your image. With each post, please include an explanation of your drawings. This will give you an opportunity to describe your work (we have to “sell” our ideas often), and it will provide us (your audience) with some information so we can understand how you are applying the week’s topic and how “space” is being considered. This will also provide a check for you to make sure you are satisfying the assignment. This explanation can be a very short paragraph. I’m not wanting or looking for a short essay.

3. Apply critical thinking to issues associated with graphic design when assessing solutions. Assignment 9.1Assignment 9.1
Hierarchy
Create a type-based infographic (no images, no symbols, no lines or boxes, text only) that explains how to make a sandwich using the steps below.
Your solution cannot use numbers.
The steps cannot be in order; that is, they cannot read from the top of the page to the bottom. Instead, you will use typographic hierarchy to indicate which step comes first, which follows it, and so on.
You must create this by hand (no computers) and you must use 8.5 x 11-inch paper (vertical or horizontal). You may use two colors (shades and tints are allowed). You may use two styles of type.
The goal is to use typographic hierarchy tools (size, weight, font, placement, etc.) to lead us through the steps in order, even though they are out of order on the page. A successful design will tell us where to go from step to step visually, without using top-to-bottom reading or numbers, and will put all steps in the correct order for us.
Sandwich steps in order:
place two slices of bread on a plate
spread desired amount of mayo on left piece of bread and desired amount of mustard on right piece of bread
add cheese of choice to left piece of bread
add meats of choice to right piece of bread
add choice of sliced tomato, pickles, and/or lettuce
combine the two pieces of bread carefully
cut diagonally
enjoy with side of chips and choice of beverage
Post your final image to the discussion board.

“Capturing the Human Form: A Study in Proportion and Pencils” Sketches from Lauren’s tutorial: [Sketch 1: Basic Figure] [insert image of basic figure sketch] [Sketch 2: Adding Details]

The project is done with 9×12 drawing paper and graphite pencils.
First, follow this tutorial from my colleague, Lauren, about how to draw the human figure. Upload your sketches from this tutorial for accountability.
Then, using the image below as your reference, create as accurate of a drawing as possible on your 9×12 paper. Things that I will be looking for:
Proportion of the figure being as close as you can manage to the original
The model’s head and feet are on the page–start over if you need to!
Using your soft (B) and hard (H) pencils to good effect. Remember that it’s better to start with a hard pencil to map our your drawing, then go right over with a soft pencil for depth
Post a strong photo of your pencil drawing here. Write a 50-75 words about the experience. You must address at least three positive things you enjoy about your drawing. You may then identify two goals of specific things you’d wish to work on.

“Exploring the Power of Imagination: Re-evaluating Object Play Experience through the Lens of Imaginative Play” Part 1: Theme from Design Project: Object Play Experience Theme: Exploring the concept of transformation through object play and Imaginative Play: Exploring Life’s Connections and Balances Partial Narrative: “The Three Golden Apples” from The Folkstories of Children ebook Once upon a time, there lived a young prince named Jason who was tasked by

Imaginative Play
The earliest evidence of imaginative play comes at about the age of two, in the form of fragmentary stories. Play scholar Brian Sutton-Smith describes these fragments as partial narratives: They are not a complete story with a beginning, middle, and end. They may be just the beginning or middle. In time, children develop the ability to create a complete narrative. This progression occurs in children worldwide, and is an integral aspect of their play. Children are gleeful as they tell their stories. In his book, The Ambiguity of Play, Sutton-Smith also focuses on play theories rooted in seven distinct “rhetorics”—the ancient discourses of Fate, Power, Communal Identity, and Frivolity and the modern discourses of Progress, the Imaginary, and the Self. This work reveals more distinctions and disjunctions than affinities, with one striking exception: however different their descriptions and interpretations of play, each rhetoric reveals a quirkiness, redundancy, and flexibility. In light of this, Sutton-Smith suggests that play might provide a model of the variability that allows for “natural” selection. As a form of mental feedback, play might nullify the rigidity that sets in after successful adaption, thus reinforcing animal and human variability. In addition to spoken stories, there are imaginative play adventures which contain both real and make-believe elements. The power of human imagination to create and innovate has built our modern world, and being playfully imaginative continues to nourish the spirit.
Brian Sutton-Smith (1924–2015) was one of the foremost play scholars of the last 100 years. His The Ambiguity of Play (1997) stands alongside Johan Huizinga’s Homo Ludens(1938) and Roger Caillois’s Man, Play and Games (1961) as a touchstone of play theory. For more than half a century, in more than 350 books and articles, Sutton-Smith led or synthesized all the major advances in play studies. In The Folkstories of Children he collected 500 examples of children’s made-up stories, taken from a study of a New York City private preschool and alternative public elementary school. The children from whomthese stories were taken were put in the schools by parents who wanted the best for their offspring; Sutton-Smith calls them the “bright kids” who will be the leaders of tomorrow [p.34). These bright kids are indeed verbally acute, attuned to things that go bump in the day as well as the night.
Sutton-Smith argues that instead of looking for a model of mind in computers, decision trees, or binary structures, the mind can best be seen in the telling of stories. The stories of young children are not always informed by a syntax of chronicity. Perhaps this suggests two kinds of storytelling minds: one, a linear, chronological mind and another, a foregrounding, relational mind. This is important to language acquisition, speech play, and the development of fantasy. The body of the book is divided into two major sections, the first filled with stories in verse form taken from children two to four years old, and the second filled with plot stories from children ages five through ten. You will notice that even in the older children the narratives are “partial” in the sense that there will be leaps of logic or relational connections in the stories. There is not much exposition and as children tell stories they are making connections that they expect their audience to understand. Here is the link to the The Folkstories of Children ebook in the ASU Library. https://search.lib.asu.edu/permalink/01ASU_INST/fdcm53/cdi_askewsholts_vlebooks_9780812207392
The book is organized by age of the child. Pick a chapter and find a partial narrative story that you find interesting.
Part 1. Write down your theme from the Design Project: Object Play Experience, Parts 1-3 assignment in Part 1. Using what you learned about Imaginative Play re-evaluate your theme and deduce what part of your theme and symbology might be particularly relevant to a game designed for Imaginative Play. Write down how Imaginative Play is aligned with your theme and symbology.
Theme: The importance of personal connections and relationships, growth and learning through life experiences, and balancing different aspects of life.
Part 2.
Pick a chapter and find a partial narrative story that you find interesting from the The Folkstories of Children ebook in the ASU Library. Copy down the entire partial narrative into a word document.
Sutton-Smith argues that there are two kinds of storytelling minds: one, a linear, chronological mind and another, a foregrounding, relational mind. Which one do you gravitate toward? Explain why.
Pick an artist who uses partial narratives in their work (see the table above for a list of artists). Write down why this artist resonates with you and why.
Then write a backstory for a partial narrative game (300 words or so) using your theme and symbology. Part 3.
Download, print, and play the free game Bolets. https://www.pnparcade.com/products/bolets It is a solo game so you have to play in solo mode.
It is important to play this game so that you have first hand knowledge of what a sliding puzzle tiling table top game is. Journal your play experience and reverse engineer the core loop by bullet pointing the steps in the loop. Write down the experience of solving the problem and game mechanics that really made the game fun for you.

Hello everyone! Welcome to Week 3. Here’s your exciting and information packed video for this week: Week 3 Video
We are looking at rhythm and balance this week. Good stuff.
Let me know if you have any questions or need anything.
Have a really good week!

Photograph your favorite four examples of balance and your favorite four examples of rhythm along with why you feel they are good examples of each (total of 8). Be sure each image is labeled. Post your work to the discussion board.
Academic Dishonesty is covered in the Syllabus, Part 3. It states. “Penalties for academic dishonesty may include a warning, a reduction in grade, a grade of “F” for the work in question or, with Dean approval, a grade of “F” for the course. In addition, any student engaged in academic dishonesty will be subject to disciplinary action including reprimand, short-term suspension, long–term suspension, and/or expulsion according to the policies and procedures of the University.” According to this statement, I would have been in my rights to fail you for the course. That seems rather harsh for a first instance. I choose to give you a zero for the assignment. It is up to the faculty member to determine what actions to take.

(Please keep in mind that you stated via the Syllabus Acknowledgement quiz that you read and understood the syllabi. It is very important that you do understand the syllabus in every class you take since it is a type of contract between you and your professors. I assume that this is true, and I proceed accordingly.)

Since the assignment stated “Go someplace interesting and observe. Make at least 5 drawings of things/objects you see there” and “Draw your selected object…” the images needed to be drawn, not copy and pasted from online sources. The purpose of this assignment was to apply the material from the reading assignment. An additional intended outcome was to build observation skills, along with drawing abilities. We won’t develop these skills just by finding images online, we need to create them. Each assignment in the course is going to be different, with different instructions. And as I stated in class, not all instructions are written down. You won’t be handed an instruction sheet; it will be a meeting where instructions will be delivered verbally. It will be your job to write them down and ask questions on anything that you didn’t understand. In this class, you’ll receive written instructions (the assignment) and verbal instructions (the video).
