- 5 - H. Napoleon Henderson's Critque [[Critique]] Drawings for tapestries to be made for Atlanta International Airport Commission (21,000). 2 panels each are to be constructed. Each will measure 14x10 feet. The completion date is August 1, 1980. The work is primarily organized in curveliness forms based around a central pyramid—and the compositional form of a woman. A collective process for the sketches was used—different people worked on them. The figures in the compositions are mainly female. A thumbsucking figure raised a lot of discussion as to its positive/negative connotation. Stevens - the left side of the sketch needs to be developed further. Henderson - related the inspiration and symbolic meanings of each section of his sketches. I. Frank Smith's Critique Acrylic painting/patchwork/applique on fabrics.

The works are a mixture of applique, in a variety of joining techniques-stitches, painting, etc. "sleepwalker" dream patterns-some are just imagined "Neferatiti" [[Nefertiti]] White areas in the works will be "closed down" definition - closing down - filling in void areas with patterns. The work has a child-like appearance. A big, radiating bulb is suggested by his use of fringes. *Nelson Stevens - mural in Tuskeegee [[Tuskegee]] Alabama. Help is needed from February to June.
