PART ONE | the task roulette:

1. TAKE A FREE MARTIAL ARTS CLASS.
2. BUY A PRE-MADE DINNER AT THE STORE AND GIVE UP COOKING FOR A NIGHT.

PART TWO | how I solved it:

+ 3 rows and 2 columns table with a cell of 10 units height and 10 units width. Centred.
+ Each cell represents one of the eaten dumplings.

---

THE DRAWING

+ In this task all the 18 books or drawings are connected or dependent on one another.
+ Instead of buying, I anyway handmade my dinner. A unit of 108 (mini) dumplings with 2 different stuffing; half of them with meat stuffing, and half of them with vegetables. (18 books x 6 cells = 108 cells)
+ For both kind of stuffing a geometric sign was designed.

---

+ STARTING with upper left cell of book one, and working across to the right, the drawing image is created by filling the cells with the fitting sign corresponding to the order of the eaten dumplings:
BOOK 1 = dumplings 1. to 6.,
BOOK 2 = dumplings 7. to 12.,
BOOK 3 = dumplings 13. to 18.,
… and so on

PART ONE | the task roulette:

1. GO TO AN AMATEUR HOCKEY GAME.
2. GET YOUR SURFBOARD WAXED.
3. READ A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE BACKWARDS.

PART TWO | how I solved it:

+ 10 rows and 8 columns table with a cell of 3 units height and 3 units width,
+ 4 units from the top edge, vertically centred.
+ Each cell represents one word of the article; this however needs to have at least three letters to be considered for the task.

---

THE DRAWING

+ Because my mother tongue is Slovenian I executed this task in Slovenian.
+ I took random articles from the net, and as the task required read them backward, marking out all those words in which I was able to find another meaningful Slovenian word, that has at least three letters, but is neither a name nor interjection.

FOR EXAMPLE: word ZAGOTOVO (meaning : for sure) —> OVOTOGAZ —> TOG (meaning : rigid)

---

+ ALTHOUGH the article was read from the last word to the first, the results are marked from the upper left cell across to the right. If the word contained another word the cell is painted black, if no meaningful word was found within, the cell is left blank/white.

PART ONE | the task roulette:

1. GO TO THE FARMER’S MARKET AND BUY SOME FRESH PRODUCE.
2. GO TO THE TRACK AND SEE HOW FAST YOUR CAR CAN GO.
3. PLAY TRASHCAN BASKETBALL WITH ROLLED UP NEWSPAPER.

PART TWO | how I solved it:

+ 7 rows and 5 columns table with a cell of 4 units height and 4 units width,
+ 4 units from the top edge, vertically centred.
+ Each cell represents one of the throws to the basket(s).

---

THE DRAWING

+ Instead of one three baskets were used; placed next to each other to form a triangle.
+ Each basket has its own visual sign:

– the one farthest from me, is a so called BIG BLACK SQUARE (4 by 4 units),
– the one in the middle is a SMALL BLACK SQUARE (3 by 3 units, aligned top left corner of the cell),
– and the last basket (I called it the joke basket) gives only a SQUARE CONTOUR with a 1 unit thickness.

---

+ THE drawing image is a transcript of my basketball skills. Starting with the upper left cell and working across to the right, each cell is painted depending whether and in which basket the ball landed.
+ I had 1 trial per cell.

PART ONE | the task roulette:

1. PLAY ROLLER HOCKEY ON THE TENNIS COURTS.
2. VISIT A LIGHTHOUSE.
3. DANCE TO YMCA.

PART TWO | how I solved it:

+ 7 rows and 4 columns table with a cell of 5 units height and 5 units width,
+ 3 units from the top edge, horizontally centred.
+ Each row represents one iteration of the assignment.

---

THE DRAWING

+ The actual act of dancing was replaced by symbolic dancing of letters to form a random order. The letters Y, M, C, A were transformed into graphical signs.

+ To generate the random order of an individual row, 4 objects of the same kind (i.e. plastic penguins with a letter attached to their “buttocks”.) were put into a bag, each was drawn one after the other.  7 times for a drawing, top-down.

---

+ THE raffle results are in the row marked from left to right.
