Assignment 3 Plan

Kelsea, Marius, and I will be working on the life of Isaac Newton. I will capture a few elements of Newton's life on an embroidered piece (most likely an 8 inch embroidery hoop). The main image will focus on Halley's influence on Newton, but I will include small bits of Newton's work with gravity, optics, calculus, alchemy, etc. in subtle ways to add to the piece.
