art and language - Phil's type

For Phil's workshop we were told to made up an alphabet using a bunch of shapes which we were able to cut up and put back together to make an endless combination of characters. this was a tedious session as we had designated boxes in which each letter had to go in and they weren't very big and cutting out small bit of paper wasn't great. I got more into it though as the day went on and i could begin to see my alphabet come together.

This is the alphabet i ended up making. It is pretty cool, i tried to keep the style uniform but i ended up going off on a bit of a tangent. 

The second task of the day left us making images out of text, we were given eight words and each box had to describe one of the words but as an image.
In order on the top row from left to right the words are Rigid, chaotic, fragile and bold.
and on the bottom row from left to right the words are clumsy, graceful, calm and fluid.
this project was fun to do though it was boring at times.
