- Oldenberg uses material of all kinds in order to create art.
- "Heritage School" was a place where art was really part of the curriculum. Kids decided to speak out in their art by constructing life size pieces, grown ups, which evoked the theme: "See no eveil, hear no evil, speak no evil." This was a response to a Muslim adolescent girl placed in an incarceration center because accused of suicide bombing.
- This empowered students to use skills to speak out against what was going on.
- Teachers need to help students feel comfortable with what they have.
Process of Transformation:
- transforming materials and transforming transformed materials.
Today's Project:
Milk Carton: objective is to transform it with paper mache, and create something that has magical powers. Then write a narrative about the magical powers it has, the emergence of this object.
Carton Qualities:
- waxy, stiff, plops, balances, spinnable, makes noises when you squeeze into it, cuttable.
Things I added: wire hanger, mini tree stump
Magical Powers it has: flies and saves little animals from the wild prey
- I may have gotten the idea while watching Planet Earth and saw episodes of little baby animals getting killed by its prey.
- Reminded me of an owl.
- The inside wooden stump is a place for little animals to sit on.
What I did:
- broke the carton apart and made an enclosure of some kind
- playing around with materials, I broke the top off and cut the side flaps and made it into wing-like shapes
- covered the box with paper mache as well as the inside
- more and more started to look like an owl
- the flat part of the box needed another dimension to it so I decided to attach a wire hanger to help it move around
