Animate each of the six objects that you drew last week. Give each of the objects life. This does not necessarily mean to simply add legs and arms, but instead “distort” the original drawing in a way that it now looks like it could move about, or is alive. This may include arms and legs, etc. but that should not be the main aspect.

Focus on one object only. A different object from any you have previously worked with. It must be something mechanical (not digital) that you can see how it works, the gears, the springs, the moving parts, etc. Draw these inner workings 6 different times. (examples; inside of a clock, bicycle gears, engine, motor, conveyor belt, etc.) Focus on a detailed, realistic representation of how these parts interact with one another.
