1. Portfolio of Anne Steeves
I am currently enrolled in an Experimental
Design Making class at the Minneapolis College
of Art and Design. Through projects in and out
of class we have explored new materials for
mark-making and photography; misused old
tools; invented our own techniques; and
created a lot of stuff.
The class is designed for those with or without
design experience and focuses more on
iterating new approaches to making art through
experimentation and play.
The following series originate from projects
throughout the semester.

2. Project 1
Our first assignment was to take 60 pictures in 60 minutes using our camera
phone with no filters to create images we have never seen before.

As a result, we took one of these images to create something new by distorting,
destroying and manipulating the original.
