Assignment 04
Collection 02

Today we will discuss your collection and documentation methods in detail. Choose which method is working best. Using this one method document 20 different specimens by next week, and 50 by Week 15, 4.22.19.

Your next task is to sort your images into a minimum of 3, or a maximum of 6 related categories. Alternatively, you can also organize your collection along one continuous spectrum (e.g. from dark to light, small to large, organic to geometric, plain to ornate, a color spectrum, etc.) or in the form of a narrative. Your method of organization should not be arbitrary. Make rational decisions based on the visual characteristics you’ve uncovered through documentation and observation.

Along with organizing you must also name your categories. Your name gives you an opportunity to further define how your collection will be viewed. For example, ’S-M-L-XL’ for a collection organized by scale.

For each category, print the images that fall into that category on one letter-sized sheet of paper. So if your collection includes 4 categories you should have 4 letter-sized printed sheets. (If you want your images to be larger you’re welcome to print 2 pages per category). Print your images in color or B&W according to your method of documentation, and label each sheet with your proposed naming scheme.
