I think silk screen printing can give really cool looking results. I would love to try incorporating it into my concentration (whatever that might turn out to be). You can also use it on a variety of surfaces.

David Geiser - http://www.buttersgallery.com/Artist-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=371
Geiser's artwork appears to be very abstracted objects that all have emotive aspects. I think the artist was trying to make them still somewhat recognizable, but make all the pieces have a sort of signature look to them.
David Geiser uses this really cool technique (I don't know how he does it) that makes his artwork look like it has little splotches of milk in it. Like, if you added a few drops of milk to a cup of coffee, the first second you see this contrast between the milk and the coffee around it because it hasn't quite mixed in yet.
Almost all of the artwork produced by Geiser on the website has this 'milky' technique. He masters space as well as contrast really well in order to apply this to his artwork.

Martha Pfanschmidt - http://www.waterstonegallery.com/index.php/57/martha-pfanschmidt/
This artist doesn't appear to have any specific subjects or objects within her artwork other than the occasional bird, Pfanschmidt excellently masters the encaustic medium to tie her pieces together in beautiful ways.
The use of geometric shapes, mainly rectangles, and the combination of muted and vibrant colors is a technique used in many of the pieces. Another interesting aspect of her work is that she brings tea bags into some of her encaustic pieces which adds odd blotchy textures.
Martha masterfully combines pattern, texture, shape, and line throughout all of her artwork. I think encaustic is a great way to experiment with different techniques to achieve new textures (though I've never actually tried it).

Royal Nebeker - http://www.augengallery.com/Artists/nebeker.html
Many of the art pieces produced by Nebeker grasp the important shapes and motions of the objects depicted within them. Although some of the pieces seem to be simple still-life's (many flowers and vases), there are other paintings that make you think about what the imagery is saying.
Nebeker uses a variety of mediums including watercolor and oil paints, but still manages to make many of the pieces look visually similar. Nebeker uses contrast and space really well in his/her pieces, also adding a bit of interesting texture.
Royal Nebeker uses vibrant colors contrasted with more subtle colors or sometimes even black silhouettes. In addition to contrast, Nebeker uses line quite well with many of her pieces, specifically the ones of flowers. The loose contour-ish lines add interesting details to an otherwise plain flower.

Summer Project
If you're ever assigned an over-the-summer project of some sort...spread the work out! I was assigned to take one thousand photos over the summer at the end of last school year. I've already taken this class before so you'd think I would have learned something the previous summer. Instead, I ended up cramming a little bit more than I wanted to. Well, to put it into perspective, if I had a glass of milk with a viscosity that directly correlated to the proportion of photographs that were taken over a long period of time (more fluid = photos taken every day of summer) then I would end up with a yogurt-y looking thing.
