In your sketchbook:
1. Sketch 2 piece of each artist: Hung Liu, Enrique Chagoya, Faith Ringgold and Brendan Tang.
2. Critical reflection of these works of art-analysis of elements and principles of design, investigation of the sociopolitical and culture issues of the work and artist.
3. Ask your guardian what province/state/region your family comes from-get as many specifics as possible.
4. If you have any textiles (scarf, robes, scraps of fabric) from your family's culture, draw these in your sketchbook-include detail!
