Plan: 

In this endeavor, students will be asked to utilize a machine, in an inventive way, to create a drawing, embrace creativity, and implement higher levels of “chance” in artistic outcomes.   The project, ultimately, offers many options and students will be allowed to manipulate machines in any way to go beyond the scope of the ordinary and consider new approaches.   Machines can be used to make a mark on paper that could not be made by hand—the options, are truly infinite.  A strong focus will be placed, in this project, on process documentation, and students will also be required to capture their work on video.  Students will have the chance to explore their ingenuity and thirst for invention while they simultaneously sacrifice direct engagement with their drawing—but still gain appreciation of “the mark” that results.
