Assignment One:

Choose one particular cultural object in the Redpath Museum collection to draw.
1. Draw detailed sketches of the object noting any designs and motifs that may be present. (at least 2 to 3 drawings)
2. From your drawings, do a web search to find similar motifs and their purpose in our culture. (In the case of a natural object, determine its history and why, you think, that it is on display)
3. Bring your drawings to class next week. Write out a short report (1/2 a page) and submit it next week.

That’s all!
