In Adobe Illustrator make 4 drawings on one page. Choose one design from each of the following 3 groups and copy it as accurately as possible. Then create a 4th drawing using one of the influences below.
1. Choose a Haida design to copy. You will be using mostly the pen tool.
2. Choose a Navajo rug design, try to use the "grid" option under "view" to help you construct a geometrical pattern similar to the rug. Use the rug as a guide.
3. Choose a Zuni pot design and try to copy a piece of the pattern and repeat it across the page.
4. Make your own design for the 4th drawing -- using what ever style you want. If you want to make your own in a Haida influence, or your own rug design, or your own pottery motif -- be creative!
Each drawing is worth 25 points. 100 points total.
