Creative Assignments: Exploring Personal Identity and Wire Sculpture Techniques

This document outlines two engaging assignments designed to encourage self-expression and creativity through art. Assignment #1 focuses on reflecting on personal identity through the lens of a "I.SEE.ME" project, prompting students to articulate how their glasses represent their personality, celebrate successes, and identify areas for improvement. Assignment #2 introduces the concept of linear sculpture, inspired by renowned artists like Alberto Giacometti and Ruth Asawa. Students will create a detailed drawing and a 3D wire sculpture of a fish, infusing personal creativity and design.
