"Make Your Daughter Practice Math" Editorial Illustration

When I taught illustration I used to give my students assignments that simulated those in the profession. This article appeared in the dearly-departed NYT Op-Ed pages in 2018. Students would need to read, think conceptually, sketch, draw and put their knowledge of print production into high gear... all on a ridiculously tight schedule. I'd have fun playing the part of the pain-in-the-ass art director. And when I'd get bored with that, I'd work along with them and try to make myself cry.
