Raindrop
Question 2A: Using the dot drawing
technique described in Chapter 8 of the DBN book, manually position *exactly*
50 dots on your page that look as though they are randomly placed, but
still form a cohesive recognizable image that is non-typographic and non-symbolic.
Cubist Clock
Question 2C: In Passages in Modern
Sculpture (RK) read pp. 0-67. Using DBN, create an image in the cubist

Geometric Progression
Question 3A: Visualize a geometric progression
(GP) of your choice in a concrete manner that emphasizes the wide range
of scales inherent to a GP. This is a simple exercise in Cartesian geometry
that can look as mathy as you like, or not.
My Line
Question 3B: Read DD pp. 38 to 66. Using
the basic element of the Line and Dot, construct an image that is evocative
of the intent and spirit of a Line. Define this drawing as a single Command
'MyLine' that you invoke just once.
Heavy versus Light
Question 4B: Read DD pp. 67 to 103. Create
a dynamic composition of two contrasting elements (i.e. color, shape quality,
movement, etc.) Use comments to explain what you're contrasting.
Sea Walrus
Question 4C: Read RK pp. 147 to 200. Gather
visual elements from at least three of your previous assignments, and create
a 'welded image'. Each of the visual elements should be in a separate Command
(or multiple Commands). Include comments to explain your choices and the
resulting composition.
Fingerprint
Question 7B: Create a generally smooth
gradation of white to black, from left to right using only a 100 percent
black pen.
Look beyond the box
Question 9A: Your display is now 200 by
200. Emphasize the difference between your early 100 by 100 display area
and the now larger 200 by 200 display area with a statically motivated
graphic.
