Assignment Description: The Time_Based Drawing assignment must involve traditional drawing materials or traditional drawing processes in relation to one or more of the time based mediums below:
-Sound -Video -Animation -Book Works -Performance -Process with Materials -Kinetic Sculpture or Kinetic Installation Combining the above examples is strongly encouraged and offers the greatest potential for success in the work. As in previous assignments in the course the Time Based Drawing Assignment emphasizes a hybrid of drawing materials and/or process with thematic layers conveyed in a unique and innovative manner. As usual aesthetic (formal visual languages) are to be synthesized with thematic layers (conceptual content) Overall work the work shifts toward thematic performance or process and/or time based work with traditional drawing materials and or drawing processes. What is made becomes secondary to the process.

What is made becomes secondary to the process.
Purpose: The goal of the assignment
is to have students combine traditional materials with more contemporary art
methods. Material options to select from could
include traditional materials such as drawing materials (graphite, conte, and/or
oil pastel), paint, various 2-dimensional surfaces (board, and/or paper) in
combination with video cameras (cameras could include cellphones or tablets)
and/or projections, printed matter, objects (found or crafted), and
installation. Students potentially work as live performer with text, images,
and/or audio with traditional drawing materials.
Potential Subject Matter and Themes:
1) Dynamics
of the gaze, including power relations within the process of interpreting
subject matter. Students will be asked to attempt to subvert these dynamics in
a process and/or performance work. Students will be encouraged to explore themes
of personal identities and/or rituals in the context of blurred or multimedia
disciplines with traditional drawing material(s).
2) Open-ended
themes include potential non-linear narratives, identity, metaphors on time, aging,
transition, loss, political struggle, and/or cycles.
3) There
could also be the theme relating to the problem of drawing materiality in the
digital era.
4) Strive
to have materials and/or processes that convey fictional or real themes,
metaphors, and/or narratives. The body is to be understood as a site of political
or social critique. As part of the thematic layers, integration of a cultural critique
into the prosthesis could be also be an option in relation to traditional
drawing material(s).
5) Themes
not included on list is permitted provided a brief description (1 -2 sentences)
is presented to instructor and approved by instructor

Sand Art Examples - Thematically these are weak examples but in terms of ephemeral material, process of material and time-based drawing, these examples offer some interesting ideas:

Evaluation/Grading Breakdown for Time Based Assignment
The Time-Based Drawing assignment will be broken down in terms of the following:
Layers of Concepts/Themes 20%
Formal/Visual Language/Technical Skill 75%
Synthesis of the concepts/intention with formal/visual language 5%
Time-Based Drawing
As part of the process the person while intermittently rotating the drawing
they would repeatedly trace/draw the cast shadow from stick sculpture. Very good idea just needed to be taken further!
