The Perfectly Mounted Board Would Have...

• Tracing paper covering all of the front of the black board and nothing more (other than to wrap around and attach to the back)
• Artists tape cut cleanly with an X-acto knife rather than torn (be careful not to cut through to the board when trimming your tape)
• A perfectly centered composition (remember to erase your pencil marks)
• No glue residue sticking to the tracing paper (watch out for overspray onto other compositions when you are spraying)
• Everything centered, lined up, and cut at right angles with laser-like precision. There is no detail too small.

For Class April 21

Project 1.2 DUE
