A New Breadth Assignment: Mail Art















Tomorrow in class you'll be getting a blank postcard that during the break you'll send to a classmate.  For the 2D folks, I want you to incorporate both collage and drawing in your mail art piece.  3D folks you want to think about incorporating origami and package design techniques to create a sculptural piece of mail art.  I recommend making a model prior to using the postcard given.

Please remember-you must send this postcard to your classmate within enough time for them to receive it before the first day back to school-and you must bring in the one you received on that day too!  You'll get a grade for each!
