For the "teens inspired" I was asked to pick any piece from the collection at NC art museum that inspired my imagination and make a piece from that. In my searchings I found a very interesting pieceIt's a scroll case, specifically a "Torah Case". It is meant to be buried. This lead to a whole slew of ideas and possibilities. One that I specifically liked was the idea of a "book coffin" which can be used in a similar way except replacing the scroll with a book and the case with a coffin. For my medium I was set on using wood, and for my book I used "How to Get Pregnant" (over 400,000 copies sold.) I plan on keeping my how-to-get-pregnant-book-in-a-coffin in my attic until my firstborn is of age, then I will pass it down to him, and tell him that when the time is right he may open it.*Here's a carrot I drew for comparison.For this project I was asked to take a completed piece of mine and destroy it in any way I wished. Seeing as most others were simply tearing or breaking there piece, I felt I had to make the destruction of my piece special. By thinking this I eventually chose incineration as my destructive medium. To be specific, I put my piece in one of the school kilns, where I left it over the weekend through one baking. By the time the kiln was cool enough to open, there was literally nothing left of my charcoal drawing.For my groups artists collaborate project we have taken the idea of creating a written/illustrated story. The way we plan on going about this is starting with a candidate, asking them to write a line or two, then draw what happens in their written part of the story; then hand the sketchbook to the next person asking them to do the same, each person adding their own touch to the story. Page by page, line by line, drawing by drawing, eventually a story will be pieced together and hung up/strung together in comic book panel form.
