Taxonomy of Marks: Natural vs Man Made

Jessie, Abby and I have a haiku that considers the natural and man-made.

Paperweights on picture books

Young springtime breeze

The first line automatically denotes man-made.  The second line includes natural and man-made.  The third line speaks to natural.  It's goes from man-made to natural. 

One way we want to classify is create two categories

MAN-MADE   v.    NATURAL

|

|

|

ORGANIC  v.  GEOMETRIC

|

|

|

BRUSH STROKE  v.  IMPRESSION 

(with the impression, it'd be like dropping something or making stamps of it)

Another considerations:

1. man-made v. nautral --> method of mark making --> medium used
2. man-made v. natural --> object used --> medium used
3. man-made v. natural --> organic v. geometric 

Possible Format Sizes & Page/Binding Materials

1. 8 x 9 in square
2. maybe put 9 marks per square page
3. spiral bound
4. bright white paper to allude to the brightness of spring
