Idea: Use a Portrait as a Biography
~You can date portraits by examining the clothing, setting, facial hair, etc.
~Often objects 'hidden' in paintings commemorate a certain event or time period.

Idea: "Material Challenge"
~Build a prototype with random materials to solve a problem.

Quote:
"Inspiration happens but it better find you working." ~Pablo Picasso

The Process of Design and Innovation
"Ask, Imagine, Design, Build, Evaluate, Refine, Share"
(Sometimes it is necessary to redesign before sharing.)
