What happens when you transform a milk carton?



Starting point: Milk carton, paper mache materials from previous week....



There are associations placed upon our work. The visuals put our mind to questions, asking us, "What do you think is going on here?" Let the material impose on you and talk to it without having your own agenda without impositions of your own ideas on the material. The goal should be to speak what it is that you want it to say. If you have a repertiore, then call upon it in a certain way. If we simply just look, we won't know what we're looking for so we need to have conversations with materials and its process because it gives us clearer explanations to our ideas. Sometimes, the classrooms may be the only place where students can carry such conversations and related issues. With the materials, we make meanings while having fun with it! Here are some works by classmates:



Next project: Draw a coexistent environment of the made object on and in the piece of paper. Afterward, tear it up into 3s-4s and combine it anyway you desire.
