The properties of a material...
Choose ONE material or object that you have gathered in your foraging expeditions.
What properties does it have?
Please have the courage to look at it like you have NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
In your field journal, describe its properties like you're talking to a friend on the phone who can't see the object in front of you.

Art problem: I can create an artwork CELEBRATING the qualities/properties/characteristics of my partner's object using the "non-traditional" materials that I gathered.
Questions for YOUR consideration:
How do you "celebrate" the properties/characteristics of an object?
Questions you may be wanting to ask ME
Q: I am an artist and have a fully stocked studio-- do I ONLY have access to the materials that I bought/gathered today or can I use traditional art supplies?
A: The premise of the competitive cooking show "Chopped," (and the inspiration for today's challenge) is that all contestants receive several challenging ingredients. They are asked to create a dish that celebrates the challenge ingredients and they are allowed minimal access to additional ingredients from the pantry. The winning contestants create dishes that really transform the challenging ingredients and sparingly use additional ingredients to give structure to the dish only where needed. I want you to try to do the same thing in your making.

Please be prepared to bring the following item to our seminar on Wednesday 9/9:
Your LAB COAT! This will be an item of clothing that has a story/meaning behind it, that makes you feel powerful and/or transformed, that gives you the courage and ease to pay and experiment when you wear it.
(Note: this should not be an item of clothing that is so precious you could not wear it while making art. You can also change your lab coat during the course of the semester if you encounter another lab coat that feels more authentic)
