MECHANOMORPHIC STUDENT COMPETITION

Wynwood Project and the University of Michigan invite you to submit your work to this juried student competition. (A flyer is posted in the lab (CL145) and also available for downloading on server #8 in Dr. Hanger's Course Files.) Artists are asked to submit works that confront or interpret the notion of the world's mechanical/human connection and the environmentally minded man/machine.

Submissions are due to Milly Cardoso, Gallery Director of the UM Dept. of Art & Art History on or before Nov. 17, 2010. For submission guidelines see the flyer. (Submitted images require a description that includes title, medium, size of work and your name. Submit on CD or DVD. All media encouraged: multimedia, digital, photo, painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, printmaking, and/or performance art.)

COURSE OPTION: If you would like to work on a piece of artwork for this competition in class, you may substitute it for the first Illustrator Assignment (#5) and then switch both the due date (to Nov. 10) and the points earned to 10 (vs. 5). This illustration can be a raster image exploring some of the non-pen-tool features of illustrator and/or using Photoshop to create it.

If you choose this new option, you would then earn only 5 points on the label/packaging design (#7) and only be required to complete 2 vector drawings (#6/#7) by November 3 & 8. Your assignments would look like this:

5. Mechanomorphic Competition Art (5 points) Due Nov. 10
6. Vector Logo (5 points) Due Nov. 3
7. Package Design incorporating the above logo, (5 points) Due Nov. 8

If you have questions, let me know! And Good Luck!
