Material suggestions: Palm fronds, driftwood, long grasses, tree pods, anything interesting that you can access a lot of.  Possible solutions for joining: Weaving, braiding, sewing, tying, bending, piercing, joining, stacking or whatever technique you come up with to make an object out of separate natural materials.

The Sculpture must be three-dimensional and stand and support itself on the floor or must project from the wall.At home and during the in-class workday you will try different techniques of arranging or joining your objects together to make one unified form.
