Robots:      Show  us  how  your  brain  works!    

 Rebecca  Collins  

 Jim  Bradshaw        

Now is your chance to make your own robot artwork! Try to employ mixed media and collage like Rebecca Collins and Jim Bradshaw, Be creative! Robots can take many forms and do many things. If it helps, then think of a story for your robot. Has your robot become overlord of the planet? Is it a comedian? Broken all the time? What is its purpose? A nanny? A warrior? A policeman? An explorer? A rolling T.V. set that follows you around? Use the many pictures to inspire you (not to copy) or use the poem below as a starting place & start your own series of robots. My robot's misbehaving. It won't do as I say. It will not dust the furniture or put my toys away. My robot never helps me with homework or my chores. It doesn't do my laundry and neglects to clean my floors. It claims it can't cook dinner. It never makes my bed. No matter what I ask of it, it simply shakes its head. My robot must be broken. I'll need to get another. Until that day, I have to say, I'm glad I have my mother.

Dimensional Paper Illustration Extra Credit PAP & PreIB Art1 Summer Assignment #3 Choice: Cut Paper Illustration MRogers maryrogers60@hotmail.com Create a 9x12” dimensional paper illustration. You may use any type of paper, or combinations of paper. Some of the paper areas may be completely flat, or may extend outward up to 1/2” from the flat surfaces. At least some areas must project forward from the flat surface of the picture plane. You may tear up magazine pictures in order to create variegated color areas, or you may choose to work only in flat areas of color. There are many examples of paper illustrations on the web and in children’s books. Have fun! Research helps you develop ideas, but don’t copy!
