Assignment• You are going to carve your own personal mimi out of a crayon.– Think about what a creature that hides from people might
look like– Make sketches of what you want the face to look like
• Think about what symbols you might like to include to tell the viewer who your mimi is.
• Mimis often were portrayed as skeletons, so you need to incorporate bone structure. The bones can be geometric and design-like.
