Steal Like an Artist assignment
The first part of the reading focused on the idea of "stealing" ideas from everywhere. Stealing ideas is great, but it also requires continuing to LEARN... what are 10 things you want to learn? Think outside the box....this doesn't have to be a general skill (like piano), it could be really specific (I want to learn how to make a really good creme brulee).... List 10 things you want to learn on the attached reflection. Submit by the end of class.
