Pick an obituary from Obituaries.com or any other website/newspaper. Avoid well-known people, celebrities or familiar figures.

Find a description that's fairly detailed, and reconstruct that person's habitat. You can design the page however you like: it can be a single stylized or realistic drawing of the apartment that represents the person, both in details and in the artistic approach to the drawing. It can also be a collection of images, an inventory of possessions or some other arrangement that would give the viewer an idea of the person who used to inhabit that space.

In short, create a portrait of a person through their environment.

Bring at least three sketches for session 2.
