Assignment description:

The final series is composed of three to four drawings. Students may use any medium of their choice (but must use the same medium/technique for all drawings). The subject matter is open; however, all drawings should have the same theme or subject matter.

Before you begin anything, brainstorm ideas in your sketchbook for the project. What will the theme or subject matter be? How will these drawings be tied together? How will they be successful individually? How can you show expression and your own style? What style and technique will work best with your theme? Make sure to keep a consistent style, subject matter, and medium for the series. These drawings should be your best pieces, demonstrating what you have learned throughout the semester.
