Are you bored with money? Is George looking old and tired? Let’s give him a digital facelift! This assignment is inspired by this gallery (http://imgur.com/a/VOH3n) of cartooning on bills, but you’re not limited to drawing. You can draw on a bill and upload a picture, or use image editing software. Nor are you limited to American currency (http://www.margonaut.com/newblog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/spock5.jpg). Now go out there and make that money!
Take a screenshot of the current Twitter Trends (on web) and use the words and hashtags to make a lyric or poem.
Help create Camp Magic MacGuffin! Visualize the tent or cabin you’re staying in; show us what Lake MacGuffin looks like! What other places will you visit on your stay this summer? Is there an obstacle course? A broiling volcano? Yikes!

You know on That 70’s Show, when they’d all sit in a circle and smoke weed and talk about dumb shit? Yeah, me too. It was hilarious! But it was also filmed really creatively, with the camera focusing on each person’s face. Sit in a circle and film a conversation with your friends in the same style. Don’t get high for this (or do) because drugs are bad (but fun). If you need an example of the style, here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJPvTNRCLxM
Act out a scene from a play by yourself, using different voices for different characters. Have fun with this!
Andy Warhol was an iconic pop art mastermind. Now you can be one too! Take a photograph, or use an existing one, and create a piece of pop art. You can use something ordinary, like Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup can, or do a portrait, like Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe. This can be done in Photoshop, Gimp, or whatever photo editing software you have available. This website: http://www.melissaevans.com/tutorials/andy-warhol-up-your-photographs shows one way to Warhol Something.
Add yourself to a movie scene! Preferable a famous movie. The creepier you are, the better.
