Your project for this class is to create a rug design using reference photos.

Steps for this project include:

Find appropriate reference photos.
- try Pixabay or Pexels for copyright-free photos.
Decide what mood you want to convey.
Simplify your reference photos into shapes that convey the appropriate mood.
- use circles for a friendly design.
- use S shaped lines for an elegant, flowing design.
- use sharp or boxy shapes for a more edgy design.
Decide on a colour palette that will complement your design's mood.
Create your rug. (Or feel free to skip this step for now if you'd like feedback on your design before tufting it.)
Finally, share your work! We're all excited to see what you create!

Materials:

A device with an internet connection, magazines, books, or any other visual references that inspire you!
Something to draw with.
Something to draw on.
Some way to apply colour.
If you're tufting a finished rug: All your tufting gear. (Tufting gun, yarn, scissors, tufting cloth, tufting frame, and glue.)
