Ordinary to Extraordinary: Final Project

For your first independent project you will need to develop your own artwork which incorporates the concept of "Ordinary to Extraordinary."  Make sure to track your progress in the attached packet.  You will need to research an artist as inspiration for your project.  The artist should use the concept of "Ordinary to Extraordinary" in his/her works.
