Quote for the week: I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music. -Joan Miro

VVJ assignment: Create a three double-page spreads using color to activate the backgrounds. One page needs to be analogous, another should be monochromatic, and the last one should have warm and cool spaces. Draw onto the pages different contour drawings of your shoes. Turn them into shoes to match the backgrounds. If you have a red background, make your shoe feel like it belongs. Add whatever designs you need to to make it part of the color scheme. Add text describing the shoe and the environment. Due Monday, November 16
