Talk about ways in which the aesthetics and designs of countries from the Far East (Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, et al) have affected aesthetics in the United States. I am not asking about technology. I want you to consider the way things look (colors, patterns, styles). Think about architecture (Frank Lloyd Wright), furniture, clothing, graphics, comics, movies, foods, etc. Give specific examples. Remember to mention something you have learned from the lecture notes. Write about your opinion of those things in 100-150 words. Engage in discussion with another student.

Create a minimum of two practice illustrations in watercolor pencil. These drawings should take around 10 minutes each. They should be loose practice sketches—not finished or “polished” drawings.

• In one illustration, observe two subjects next to each other. Make sure that the subjects are touching and/or interacting with each other in some way (for example, two pieces of fruit touching each other, or a flower inside a vase).
• Repeat this process in one additional illustration. You should choose either two different subjects or the same two subjects from a different perspective.

This assignment is in place to ensure that you have a viable topic for the final paper. You should turn in a one-page discussion of a topic related to course material that you would like to write about. Discuss why you want to write about it and why you think it is a good topic. In addition, please submit the citation information (e.g., author name(s), year published, article title, journal name) for two potential sources that relate to your topic idea. The sources should be published since 2005.
