Challenge #6 Street Art



I don't have a 40' wall to play on, so I have created a pocket graffiti template. Ha! I did the mock-up on Styrofoam (left over from lunch, cut it with an Exacto, and sprayed a sample only to find out that spray paint eats Styrofoam! The sample was merely a model; I had planned to recut it in a sheet of copper (more durable), but wow! didn't know about eatability.

Maybe that's a way to destroy all of the Styrofoam clogging up landfills.
The image I decided on is an eye surrounded by a happy/sad, comedy/tragedy mouth. If you come upon it in the street you can see you have a choice-positive or negative, or it can be read simply as an eye. LOOK!

Materials: Styrofoam, spray paint + any surface, anywhere

Challenge #3 Create Pop Art - make it for today



"Big Mother (SUCK)"
My idea here is a commentary on computers and how technology is consuming our lives. We fear Orwell's Big Brother prophecy, yet I think we should be more fearful of Big Mother.Big Mother is the computer we go to throughout the day for answers to all of life's problems, questions, and quasi information. Mother is being replaced. Do we need family anymore? The "X" marks the danger warning. Big Mother has no soul, no warmth, no love. Nipples are painted inside each disc. We suck. Our Mother. Big Mother.
Materials: CDs,gray wood frame, paint, vintage Bell & Howell film letters, plastic marking tape
