It suggests creating a mood board and written explanation of the planned project direction. It then asks the reader to answer questions about why they chose the theme, what area they will explore, what photographs and artwork they will create. Finally, it outlines tasks for the following Monday, including adding a theme direction to the mood board, completing an artist board with their own photograph and transcription, and taking photos and researching a second artist.
