Getting Down to Basics

I have to come up with a plan to complete my certificate at RISD.  We have to write a proposal, show some thumbnails, and cite some favorite artists.  Well here's my plan and I actually have two.

Plan 1:  A nine panel mixed media piece where each one of the pieces can stand alone or be a part of the group.  I got inspired by the front cover of the current Somerset Studios magazine.  

Plan 2:  This is something I have already thought about previously.  I would make an artist's book entitled Artists from A to Z.  I would chose artists and show examples of their art.

Since this is a drawing and painting class and I generally don't draw or do thumbnails, let alone color studies, this seems to be a bit out of the box as most of the people do more realistic paintings and they also have far more painting experience than I do.  But I have a kindred spirit in the class who just goes for it like I do.  Now that I have some idea of where I am going, this is a load off my mind.  Who knows, I just may do both plans.
