Project 2 - "Opposite You"

For this project you will create a piece of art in your designated medium. To create the piece come up with subject matter, an aesthetic concept, and a process that seams natural to how you work. Then, while creating the piece do the opposite. For example if you work is usually rendered realistic, make it abstract. If you like to work with bold colors, work in grey scale. If you work big, make it small. If you like it textured, make it smooth. Try to create the opposite of your style of art. What would your inverse self create?
